How to gain gain: on triode driven audio pre-amp gain stage building blocks

The 17 chapters of ‘How to Gain Gain’ give a detailed insight into a collection of the most common gain producing and constant current generating possibilities (28) of triodes for audio pre-amplifier purposes. These chapters also offer complete sets of formulae to calculate gain, frequency and phase responses of certain building blocks built-up with this type of vacuum valve (tube). In all cases detailed derivations of the gain formulae were also presented. All what is needed are the data sheet valve characteristic figures of the triode's mutual conductance, the gain factor and the internal plate (anode) resistance.To calculate frequency and phase responses of gain stages the different data sheet based input and output capacitances have to be taken into account as well.
