The ubiquitous use of audio technology has created a demand for engineers who understand and produce the devices that make audio communications possible. Our team will be building and characterizing a budget friendly vacuum tube headphone amplifier that will impart 2nd order harmonics on the output audio signal, resulting in the "tube sound". In addition, the product will serve as a valuable way to introduce students to audio electronics engineering, a field that is central to the operation of countless modern industries.
