Below Pinkerton bull****s to everyone about how to make a simple SS amp.

He did it last year too.

He's repeating the same mistake.

He didn't make or test the amp he tried to foist onto us.

'Foisted'? I was *invited* to design KISASS, as you well know.

Nobody here afaik tried to
build what he suggested;
we wouldn't, since we prefer tubes.

For no apparent reason..............

I even said he could use 12dB of NFB because that is how much is in a 300B by my
estimate.
He didn't even check that out of course because he has not the slightest idea how to
establish how much NFB there is in any triode.

You'd have to build a pentode, and then remove the other grids to get
an exact equivalence. It can be done quite readily in a high vacuum
lab of course, but I don't know if it's actually been done.

But his SS design used a huge total amount of NFB. But he can't cheat while I'm
around.

Turneroid, KISASS wasn't designed to cope with your tube-centric
'rules', it was designed to be a superior version of KISS, and it
performs that function well.

It uses emitter followers at input and output as impedance
transformers, otherwise the amount of *local* degeneration used is
quite modest. No cheating involved, as there are no 'rules', and I
don't care how round you get on all those tinnies.

How come Stewart Oinkerton, the class A pork seller can't build a simple amp?

I already said that I have no interest in building it.

Nelson Pass beat Oinkerton in this race of course.

As I clearly stated at the outset - but not with a BJT.
