Where can I get the basics on output transformer design?
Casey4s (David McClain) has an output transformer impedance help page at http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/6b29ab49/bc/Output+Transformer+Impedance+(Text+file)/OT+Impedance+(HTML).htm?bcRFv17ARwucVNq3 . • Where can I get started reading about designing or building my own amp? Check the AGA Sources FAQ at http://aga.rru.com/FAQs/sources.html#homebrew . Additionally, Randall Aiken (of Aiken Amplifier fame) has a lot of excellent information available on his web site: http://www.aikenamps.com/ (click on “Tech Info”) There’s quite a bit of important theory and excellent advice there, including a list of very helpful books. Among the books, a must-have for a tube amp designer is one of the tube handbooks. The RCA Receiving Tube manuals are among the most commonly used. A Radiotron Design Handbook is also quite handy. You can also find a wealth of tube data on the web, including a program and database you can download for your Microsoft-based computer; see the AGA Sources FAQ at http://aga.rru.
