How would you explain to a novice how to design a valve amplifier?
** Wot an insanely STUPID troll.
Novices need to first discover how tube amps work and why they are built in
the various ways they commonly are.
Then they need to build a few circuits and tinker with them.
Then they need to have a well equipped workshop in order to do performance
testing and maybe refine what they have built.
I'm with you up to this point.
They do NOT and probably NEVER WILL need to know how design new tube
circuits that have not been already designed.
Why not? What if they feel an urge to build something original, then they will
need to know how to design new tube circuits.
And you cannot teach such a rare talent to anyone.
I would question whether the talent to design a valve amplifier is as rare as
you imply, the talent to do really good design may be rare, however the talent
to design a run of the mill valve amplifier is more common.
