Hi there amp guys.
I want to design and build a quality tube amplifier for my master's thesis. I have a bachelors degree in electrical engineering and have built some simple, solid-state headphone amps.
I want to step it up a bit and do a high quality tube amp now. What I am hoping to get from this community is basically anything you are willing to give me. Resources on how to design an amp with tubes, universal pointers aimed at preserving build and sound quality (things like isolate the power supply, don't run ground lines near signal lines, etc.), someone or some people to bounce ideas off of, quality component sellers, anything of that nature.
I really hope some of you guys can help me, I've seen pictures of some very impressive DIY tube amps, so I know the talent is around!
thanks in advance,
-Anthony
