Default Advice: Amp building


"Andy Evans" wrote in message
oups.com...

note that extensive corrections were required to makes Andy's quoting
legible and even semi-standard

We have low cost high volume production amps that exceed any reasonable
need. AK


OK - so the 'need' for a reference system, e.g. for professional
musicians, that is better than high volume production ss amps is
"unreasonable".


First prove the need.

Amps are only useful and interesting as components of more complex
systems,


they are almost completely disinteresting as ends in themselves. AK


So why do you and Jim (DHTs) insist on pontificating over componants
which you have no interest in?


Me, pontificate?

Why should people who are seriously
involved in building and improving such componants be REMOTELY
interested in your pompous views when you clearly are only interested
in breezing in and out of threads without contributing anything of
value to the actual R+D of such componants.


Pointing out redundacy and wasted effort can be valuable services.

This is EXTREMELY tiresome
when it has to be endured on a regular basis.


Then don't read our posts. Is there a man with a gun that makes you hurt
yourself this way?

On other newsgroups
people actually help each other build projects, go through different
iterations, contribute experience of their own builds, suggest
modifications.


Been there, done that.

Result - great equipment.


Not in every case. There are pompous people who pretend to be experts and
lead people in circles. Pointing those people out is a valuable public
service that some of us provide.

Think about it.


Talk about being pompous. Note Andy's suggestion that people need his
prompting to think.

The 'analogy' Andy gave was, actually, quite useful - it does show his
lack of grasp of the scientific method and how it can be applied in such
cases. (Jim)


"Useful" only in the sense of getting Jim his usual kicks from
appealing to the whole of the world who he assumes is on his side and
ready to tut tut in rhythm.


Whatever that means.

Jim's a good guy with lots of valuable information and wisdom to share.

We used to have people like that in school
- we called them "teachers pets".


Yeah, and they probably got far better grades than you did, Andy.

Still devoting your life to resolving your childhood hurts?

I'm sure you remember the kind of
thing "Please miss, Penny's stolen the blackboard cleaner and she's got
it under her desk".......


There's no relevance to that, and what Jim contributes. In fact Andy, your
post right here reads more like that.
