do it yourself amp


I have a science background, but not electrical engineering type stuff per se. I thought it might be interesting to try building an amp. Does anyone know of a resource, or more specifically a book, that would detail the basics including what tools would be needed?

Bottlehead has very nice kits available, with excellent sound. In my system, the Bottlehead amp sounded much better and was even quieter than a $1000 tube amp. The amp posted in my systems pages was my first DIY project as well.

Take a look at:

If you are more into Solid State, I would recommend Nelson Pass' websites:

Enjoy!

Try www.aksa.com for solid state kits or do a web search for nelson pass amp designs. I have never done myself but hear about them often in a positive light. Good luck.
