I have a copy of Morgan Jones 'Valve Amplifiers', second edition,
and its riddled with errors and sloppy maths without derivations or
examples or any depth.

Eg, see page 107, with a schematic of a white cathode follower.
Why is the anode R of the top triode = 62k????

Perhaps this is a misprint? Has it been corected in the 3rd edition
I wonder?

Have you collected together the errors and sent a list of them to
the publishers, for acknowledgement and correction in a future
edition? This would be of greater use to the tube-audio fraternity
that simply denouncing the book here on this group.


Sigh, If I was retired, and had all day to do nothing but be "creative"
and not worry about earning money, and not having to interrupt my work
with digging up
drain pipes and repairing /cleaning clogged pipes, and replacing kitchen
plumbing now
46 years old, and doing all this stuff a man has to damn well do besides
be a good tubologist,
then I might get time to properly write a long critique of Mr Jones's
book
which I feel wasn't proofed well enough by himself or anyone else and
then nobody would worry
I was just being grumpy on a news group but then I reckon I have gone
past the age of 40 and have earned the do-as-you-bloody-well-like
license, and now been awarded and official permit from the GOT to be
grumpy, because I cannot do as I like
because the older I get the better I woz.

:-)

Understood: And taken in the spirit in which I am sure it
was intended:-)


We have a little chuckle now and then, and move right along, realizing
that nobody, not even ourselves, are perfect.

Erm. Don't you mean "realizing that nobody, not even
ourselves, IS perfect" ?

Cheers:-)
