Newbie Question

Post by populartsl »

Does anyone know of a decent book or website on how to decipher schematics with all the groundings and how some components attach i get lost.

Also a book on how an amplifier works and what each component does in the chain

Oh yeah I really have a liking for "Inside Tube Amps By Dan Torres" Its actually fun to read and not too technical but very practical.

Hi Ben,

you could read the P1 Theory Document on the AX84 site http://ax84.com/index.php?pg=projects&project_id=p1

Also the Jack Darr Book http://www.pacificrecone.com/JackDarrBook.html

Lots of articles on tubes here http://www.radau5.ch/basics_1.html

And you can ask questions here! :D

If you want to do some basic study and understand how components work (especially tubes), the Navy Electricity & Electronics Training Series - NEETS* tome is outstanding.
