This is the circuit diagram of stereo tube preamplifier, give you high gain with high performance output. This circuit should work fine with a 6J5, 12SX7, 6CG7, or 12AU7 as the lower tube, and a 6BX7, 12B4, or triode-connected 6BQ5 as the upper tube. Any of the miniature TV dual triodes such as 6DE7 or 6EW7 can serve as both top and bottom triodes since they contain a medium-mu and a low-mu section. (This wouldn't be my choice, since the octals seem to sound better, but you may choose the tubes you like.)
Tube Preamplifier Parts List:
R1,R5 = 100 1/4W carbon
R2,R6 = 100 1W metal film
R3 = 1M 1/4W metal film
R4 = 10k 25W wirewound
R7 = 10k 1/2W metal film
VR1,VR2 = Part of Alps quad volume/balance control
C1 = 2uF 400V polypropylene
C2 = 10uF 400V polypropylene
V1 = 12SN7GT (GE) or 6SN7GT (see text)
V2 = 6BL7GT (GE)
This circuit require special power supply circuit. The power supply is regulated, has slow warmup inherent in its operation. The power supply for this tube preamplifier is in simply designed. The tube 6AS7G for looks; it's much bigger and lights up more impressively than a 6080. The only problem was with the voltage standard since gas tubes are capable of impressive noisemaking.

About Audio Amplifier
An audio amplifier is an electronic amplifier that amplifies low-power audio signals (signals composed primarily of frequencies between 20 - 20 000 Hz, the human range of hearing) to a level suitable for driving loudspeakers and is the final stage in a typical audio playback chain.
The preceding stages in such a chain are low power audio amplifiers which perform tasks like pre-amplification, equalization, tone control, mixing/effects, or audio sources like record players, CD players, and cassette players. Most audio amplifiers require these low-level inputs to adhere to line levels.
While the input signal to an audio amplifier may measure only a few hundred microwatts, its output may be tens, hundreds, or thousands of watts. More explanation about power audio amplifier can be found at wikipedia.org

This is a video tutorial about how to a very simple audio amplifier based on the LM386 amplifier chip. It can be built for less than $20 (or might be less than $8 in some countries) and used to amplify any low level audio signal including a guitar, bass or mp3 player.
