Are you confused about which accessories to buy? Have you ever wondered how they work? Do claims made in advertisements seem too bizarre to be real? This book will give you the knowledge needed to answer these questions yourself. By using simple analogies with clear explanations, the author equips the reader with the science that governs the operations of these devices without using any math. By replacing "myths" with "facts" the reader acquires essential information that yields the greatest value from your purchasing dollar and not be taken advantage of. Topics include: conductors, connectors, skin effect, impedance, interconnects, speaker cables, balanced lines, transmission lines, power cords, isolation transformers, damping systems, feedback, vacuum tubes, acoustics and much more.

Types and causes of tube failures, what to expect from tubes, testing methods, and all about tube maintenance programs. Over 80% of all electronic equipment defects result, directly or indirectly, from tube failures. Why do tubes fail? What can be done to prevent them from failing before there time? How can you determine whether a tube is good or bad,or how well and how long it will work in a given circuit? Should tubes be replaced periodically,whether they've failed or not...or should they be tested every so often,and replaced if indications show them to be below par? This book supplies the answers to these and many many more questions!

Discover (or rediscover) the fun and magic of building electronic circuits with thermatrons (vacuum tubes). This book has everything you need to know about the art and science of thermatron design and construction. It pulls together, in one easy to read book, thermatron types and characteristics, thermatron homebrew techniques, and how to design audio and RF triode and pentode circuits. The book is written primarily for radio amateurs (or audio equipment builders) that already understands basic electronics but have forgotten or never had the pleasure of working with hollow-state devices. The Second Edition includes over 50+ pages of new and revised material including a new chapter on thermatron oscillator design.
