Tube Amp Suggestions

You gotta feel sorry for Siegfried Linkwitz about now. I bet he never knew he'd have a groupie.

Nighthawk, the chuckle within the depths of my soul is priceless.

Your insults (which say more about you than me) notwithstanding, hear is SL's reply as I promised:

'I am not sure that I had seen Cheever's thesis, but glancing at it I see that I have been familiar with his observations. I sometimes say that "the first Watt" is most telling about an amplifier's audible performance. It brings out problems due to crossover distortion with its high harmonics and poor feedback designs. This is where tube equipment shines and has its strength, so that it takes very little knowledge to design a decent low power tube amp. It is the area that has given solid-state amps a bad name and makes the design of good ss-amps exceedingly difficult. But it can be done.'

Nighthawk, I must correct you. Didactically IS NOT a groupie. He is a cultist!

How far into name calling will you go before coming up for air and emulate some semblence of maturity, dignity, respect and sanity, anyway.

What you call others says more about you than them. It does not change anyone in any way. Even if they retaliate: push your face in, or worse (which you obviously have no fear of here in the safety of cyberspace) they just demonstrate they are like you already, or worse. You do not make them that way. No one can.

What do you get out of it anyway. What do you 'like' about it, to do it so persistently. Is it anything you can share? In the light of day.

What ever happened to 'audio'? Thankfully youall are a minority here.
