Yes, but not a *copy* of the KISS. And who gives a flying fart about
'credit', or indeed about *your* opinion of what 'meets the criteria'?


My opinion has little or nothing to do with the case:-)
For your design to be acceptable you have to meet the criteria as
discussed with you by other members of RAT, i.e an equivalent
design in solid state. No more - no less.

It would be amusing to design and build a minimalist amp.


So what is holding you back?
It seems that the odds given are such that a few people stand
to make a considerable sum of money from a very small stake
if you succeed:-)
