While I'm not certain who abused who, it is hardly a "tiny nit" to confuse
a push pull amplifier with a single ended tube amplifier, especially when
single ended amplifiers are what the thread is discussing.

While nits are on the table, the issue was SET initially. Single-ended
was an outgrowth of that as the SET claimant under another alias
suggested-by-implication that the EL84 was triode-connected. The M8 was
never a Single-Ended-Triode amp. You will also notice that I did put my
money where my opinions were on that... and the bet still stands.
Something that Mr. McCoy conveniently cannot understand.

It was (more-or-less) the same amp as uncounted millions of German
table radios, cheap Zenith radios and doubtless thousands of others
made using a Pentode (6BQ5/EL84) as the output tube. No poetry expended
on the lovely sound of these beasts, I see.
