If the Old Hack is right, the resident "engineers" who have *bragged*
that they are on my arse, for example Psycho Pinkerton and Poopie
Stevenson, scrutinizing and kibbitzing my every pronouncement, are
proven to be incompetent fools for not spotting so many gross errors in
text that has been in their faces for a year. All that remains to seal
judgement of them as electronic morons beyond belief is for Old Hack to
prove his points one by one.

Ah, you're conveniently forgetting that I debugged all your
incompetent KISS 'articles' as they were published.

Prove that you made a single valid electrical comment, that you changed
a single opinion, that you proved a single electrical error. You can't,
because in 4607 messages all you did was hurl flames and undermine the
good reputation of the honest profession of engineering.

No flames, just deconstruction of your technically incompetent turgid
waffle. There is indeed someone here undermining the good reputation
of the honest profession of engineering, but it's not me.

The *circuits* of these KISS amps have been sitting on the net for at
least a year. You, Stewart Pinkerton, have not analysed those circuits.
You merely hurled vague personalities. Others have, and found them
good, and made suggestion which I incorporated (thanks especially to
John Byrns and Patrick Turner). You just hurled empty accusations.

Nope, I pointed out basic errors in the assumptions upon which you
based KISS, and in the risibly incompetent way you came up with some
of the numbers - particularly the required driver current.

You, Stewart Pinkerton, were humiliated with your own incompetence when
you claimed you could design a better amp with transistors than I can
with tubes. Your piece of **** was so incompetent that every could see
at a glance that it was ****. No one built it, not even you, because
you were forced to admit it is incompetent.

Actually, it's a perfectly competent design, terminally crippled by
its design constraints of single-ended functionality, two gain stages,
less than ten watts output, and no global feedback. Within those
limitations, it is certainly superior to your risible KISS 'design',
which you cribbed from 1920s cookbooks.

I didn't bother with the SS ones, since just *looking* at the abortion
you had created was enough for any sane reader to have a fit of the
giggles. Besides, it's just an opamp strapped to a bad power supply.

Wow! If you can prove them, the errors Ancient Hacker alleges are very,
very serious indeed. And you, Stewart Pinkerton, the self-appointed
scourge of the electronics hobbyists, let them slide by?

It's a Gainclone clone, anyone interested can see how the real thing
really should be done. Your bodge was basically too laughable to
bother with, based on false premises displaying a total lack of
understanding of how the device works, and not of any real interest to
anyone.

Who do you expect to believe you? Your little sock puppets who buy
their lowfi on the high street? The other quarterwitted "engineers"
floating around here? (No, I take that back. They at least have the
brains not to lie as transparently as Pinkerton.)

Besides, it's just an opamp strapped to a bad power supply.

And this is the rest of your excuse, eh? In plain English, Jute got it
right, there was nothing to argue about..

No, in plain English, you started with something that works OK, and
you royally ****ed it up. There wasn't anything there for you to *get*
right, it's just an opamp.

Besides, it's just an opamp strapped to a bad power supply.

.....except maybe the power supply. So why didn't you in the entire
last year show me how to redesign the "bad" power supply, or ask me why
it is designed like that, or try to discuss the principles behind it
with me, or with anyone else? Why is this the first we hear of it?
After a year? You're slowing down in your old age, PinkoPscyho.

No, the Gainclone has been around for ages, why would I bother with
your total ****up of it? Besides, it's fundamentally just another
overhyped piece of audio bull****, it doesn't work better (or worse)
than any other cheap amplifier.

snip another self-aggrandising republication of Jute's bull**** KISS
project - uncompleted, of course

Pinkerton should run, not walk, to any alternative employment except
engineering. Oh, sorry, Pinkerton long since did run to alternative
employment, as a postroom employee in a bank.

Just another typical Jute lie - I work at the other end of the
building from the post room, designing and implementing state of the
art automated document factories with the help of the finest software
and hardware that (lots of) money can buy, and helping to run the
biggest and best financial services print and distribution house in
Europe. You of course are a burnt-out never was, crying into your
Guinness in an Irish backwater, pretending to be an academic when you
are only a laughing stock.
