I've searched the archives, but I felt I could get more info by posting a specific question.I am currently going through "Beginner's Guide to Tube Audio Design" by Bruce Rozenblit. It's quite a good read, but there are a lot of claims which aren't expained sufficiently. Equations are just presented, not derived (for the most part). The model->equation->interpretation is very off the cuff, and not well justified.
So I'm wondering, is there a more rigorous valve book for beginners? I have a strong mathematics background, and will feel more at home in that sort of environment.
I'm contemplating "Valve Amplifiers" by Morgan Jones, but I don't know if it will be more of the same.
Thanks,
Martin.

What do you want to do??????
This forum is SET oriented and the Jones Book is not. Neither is Rozenblit I guess.
This was just discussed at diytubes at AA. Check out some of hte old stuff mentioned.
Check out the link.

If you want maths though go for Radiotron Designers Handbook, Volume 4. But the RDH it's not all about tube amps for audio.
Morgan's book is. I suck at maths so I find Morgan's book a far better read. I'd say it has the best mix of maths and text/examples/experience type o thing.
