I never said an amp can work without NFB; that's your desperate spin on
the matter. In fact, I took part in a long thread which determined that
a 300B has about 12-14dB of internal or natural NFB.

'Natural' NFB? You truly are a prize specimen, Jute, you'll tell any
lie and make up any fairy tale to support your utterly farcical
'ultrafidelista' mythology.

You, Trevor
Wilson, know that what I actually believe is that most amps work better
without *added* negative feedback.

If you believe that, then you're wrong.

And I told you so again:

It follows from the argument above that ultrafidelista should choose an
intrinsically linear topology and device which does not require added
negative feedback to 'linearize' the output.

See the "added"? It makes clear to even the rawest newbie what I
intend. No one who has been in high level tube amps for more than a
semester needs it spelled out. Everyone knows the convention is that an
amp without added NFB is described as having Zero Negative Feedback.

The convention is wrong, this is simply mythology put about by those
who are stuck with devices which *cannot* use large amounts of
linearising feedback.

The bottom line is in the output signal, and the output of a good
modern SS amp has *vastly* lower distortion than that of any SET amp.

You, Trevor Wilson, cannot fail to know it, therefore you are picking
desperate nits -- and giving away your desperation by hysterically
screeching your misleading lie "no such thing as a ZNFB amp" over and
over again, probably more than twenty times (those who care can count
below).

Your problem is that you know I'm right but that you have thirty years
invested in commercially telling people tubes are obsolete.

Jute, you know very little about amplifiers, and you are certainly not
right about this. Tubes have been obsolete for the best part of fifty
years, except for fashion victims who like big shiny toys that glow in
the dark.
