## Description

Buy Designing Power Supplies for Valve Amplifiers, Second Edition by Blencowe, Merlin (ISBN: 9780956154545) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: This is a really excellent book - This is a really great book. The second edition is expanded and improved and to summarise gets my wholehearted recommendation. Unlike e.g. books on SMPS design where cold hard facts and measurements rule, books on audio and especially tube amplifiers (of which I own a very large number) are often high on non-quantifiable opinion. While, if you are even considering using a tube it’s for the ‘magic’ effect they have on the guitar amplifier etc., they still obey the laws of physics so knowing how to design with them and not have a great tone but that only lasts a week before something goes pop is I consider a good thing. Likewise the absence of hum or picking up air traffic control… The book does not disappoint in this respect. It covers subjects like using switching DC heater supply that may seem like the suggestion of a heretic but in all honesty if all you are after is a squeaky clean stable voltage to supply your tube heaters then why not? Analogy, fitting disk brakes to your classic car. You can still enjoy the car with the modern tech without worrying about crashing into stuff quite as much. I’ve worked designing electronics, mostly low noise sub-MHz analogue, over the last 25 years but I think anyone who can cope with well explained discrete component design could understand this book; accessible and easy to read. BTW: I purchased it in full knowledge that the pages may fall out as mentioned in the reviews. I have the others by M.B. and have the glue issue. Never mind and this one is OK so far.
Review: Valuable information - Anyone into valves/tubes should own a copy of this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Valuable information
*by G***H on 6 January 2025*

Anyone into valves/tubes should own a copy of this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well you think you know about power supplies, you really don't until you've read this
*by G***H on 10 January 2023*

Well I bought this thinking that I knew about power supplies already, but always willing to see if there's somehting I've overlooked. This book is amazing, it's thorough and deals with the principles as well as the practicalities of making power supplies and eliminating noise and and unwanted sagging etc. It looks at HT, Screen, Bias and Heater specifics and is not afraid to use solid state when it's needed (along with tubes). Author compares and contrasts different possible designs with lots of practical wisdom. Really enjoyed the read too, it's highly reccomended.
