Mullard Tube Circuits for Audio Amplifiers

A very well written book that covers a great deal of information that has been missing or forgotten about in the electronics world for many years. Good projects to build and a useful reference book.

I have been contemplating building a valve audio amp and decided I needed to really go back over my limited knowledge obtained in the 1960s! The Mullard book has got great circuit diagrams and associated wisdom and is really whetting my appetite to have a go.

As I ( still do ) have my old printing of this book, it is easy to review this one in comparison to the original. I think it { the original } was printed in the mid or late 1950s , although I bought mine in the mid 'sixties. It is a comprehensive text on the subject, but in those days it was not intended to sell in America so the term " Tube " - which is an irritating addition, keeps on appearing every where.This is a reprint of the original document which is very welcome but it has one major drawback. I do not know what process of copying is used: but I would suggest some sort of Photocopying. The text is clear enough but the many Photographs in the original are reproduced as nearly a completely black blob. These circuits were made by what I call birdsnest wiring - stringing components between strips of insulator with separate electrical contacts to support the components. These have the same defect as the other pictures. Otherwise a welcome book.

Very happy with purchase. New condition. Just what I needed for my old radio restoration. Good to find any extra snippets of information. All adds up.

Good collection of Mullard valve amps circuits as advertisedAs I have recently started exploring valves amp over few years

This is a reprint of a famous Mullard book now out of print and always very well regarded. Seem to have lost my copy of the original so delighted to have found a replacement

This is a classic work and I am pleased I bought it. Will definitely construct some of the tube designs before I start pushing up the daisies! I have dropped one star because I think the publisher could have made a better job of reproducing the images in the original text. The images are very contrasty and much of the design/layout clarity is lost for me - I just wish I could source an original copy.

Interesting text, but lose a * for the quality of the photographs - they look like really bad photocopies of really bad photocopies. Fortunately the really useful info is in the text, the graphs, the tables, and the schematics so perhaps not a lot lost
