I would like to build audio amplifiers. I assume that a vt can be overdriven like a transistor, or is there other ways to create distortion? Are there different configurations (like emitter-follower etc with transistors). What vts have the highest gain, which have the cleanest amplification. Basically, any and all info would be great. I have a basic understanding of electronics, but no education in the field. I would love to build affordable tube amps but its an "ancient" technology. Its kinda like saying i want to build Model As when everybody else is building Corvettes. : )
Thanks for any help!
