Here you can read about The KISS Amp 300B, a project by Andre Jute to
explain the design and construction of a single ended, zero negative
feedback, triode vacuum tube ultra-fi amplifier to those who have not
built one before.

The KISS Amp INDEX

Make sure you have the latest KISS 100 file by the date above. This
page will build up to the contents list, introduction and so on of The
KISS Amp.

For the time being it is a place to put a rolling contents list and
announcements about illustrations.

The main project papers and illustrations are accessible through the
fiultra netsite at:
http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/
or you can go directly to this index at
http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/The KISS Amp INDEX.htm
or if your browser doesn't like that one, try this one

The fiultra site is the only place the schematics of the amplifiers
under consideration will be published. It is likely that not all the
files and illustrations will be on fiultra all the time, so download
what you want to keep. There is discussion of The KISS Amp on the
newsgroup rec.audio.tubes. Note that versions of the files on the
newsgroup may show corrupted text or formulae. No guarantees are given
but we try to do better with the files posted at fiultra. All these
texts and illustrations are copyright (c) Andre Jute, not for
commercial use or publication other than as indicated.
