If you want to know enough to design audio amps with tubes, read the
short appendix in Electronic Principles by Gray and Searle. Assuming
you know how to design with transistors, it is not that hard. There are
a few issues here and there though that seem to be poorly documented
though. Sometime I'll post one of my favorites.
