It is overall, the best book I have encountered on tube audio. I have to acknowledge that I am not sure if this is the best introductory volume on the subject, but with a basic familiarity it will take you very far in your understanding of the subject. It is jammed packed with illustrations and diagrams that have taken me so much further than I expected. I can’t wait to read the other two volumes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best *by R***G on April 8, 2021* The best reference book I have seen so far ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but with some flaws *by B***R on March 28, 2018* (Disclosure- I read this book as a relative newbie to the subject of electronics and tube amplifiers but with advanced degrees in mathematics)This seemed to me to be a good book considering the paucity of literature on tube amplifiers but it suffers from editorial errors here and there (if you spend the time to check all the formulas) and poor graphs and diagrams.But more importantly it suffers from a lack of thoroughness in supporting all the results. Too many times Mr. Popovich simply states the result saying that that it is too complicated to derive it. This is not very useful. Why read the book if you have to derive it all yourself anyhow?The math involved here is not all that daunting. High school level at best. If you are even bothering to approach this subject, one would have to assume you have at least a college level of engineering mathematics which is way beyond anything required here.You can expect to spend considerable time filling in the blanks of things stated but not proven.It would also be better if he were more complete in the analysis of each circuit discussed including a calculation of gains, input and output impedances and Miller effect.The whole first part on basic electronic circuit theory could also be eliminated as there are lots of better texts on this and you will never learn it if this is the first source you are relying on.Despite the flaws, it is a very good book and well worth the struggle for the newbie to fill in the blank though you will, no doubt, need several other texts to supplement it.A definite recommend and the DVDs you can purchase to supplement this material are excellent! ## Frequently Bought Together - Audiophile Vacuum Tube Amplifiers - Design, Construction, Testing, Repairing & Upgrading, Volume 1 - Audiophile Vacuum Tube Amplifiers Volume 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/14286413-audiophile-vacuum-tube-amplifiers-design-construction-testing-repairing-and-upgrading](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/14286413-audiophile-vacuum-tube-amplifiers-design-construction-testing-repairing-and-upgrading) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-10-06*
