Beginner books

Posted by MartinR on January 28, 2003 at 14:25:55:
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.
