I can enjoy tubes for what they are - a technological
sentimental journey, and a technological backwater for
people who can't master the more difficult art of
building SS power amps.

Who would bother to do such a thing?

Obviously, people who are interested in taking a sentimental journey, and
want to have the fun of building amps without having to be really adept.

SS amps are as cheap as chips.

The Chinese seem to be doing their part for tubed amps...

Has the reason why people build tube amps
totally escaped you?

One thing is for sure, nobody builds tubed amps because they are the best
way to achieve sonic accuracy. Tubed amps fit into three categories

(1) Basically EFX boxes, examples: most SETs and guitar amps. Note that
these are both major areas of interest in tubes, and remain niche markets
with some substance to them.

(2) Wannabee, barely-are sonically transparent amps - leading example would
be the Dyna 70. Kinda of marginally built on the best day of its life, but
can get the job done under more ideal circumstances.

(3) Honest-to-goodness solidly sonically transparent tube amps - I'll leave
the examples up to the reader. I'm thinking of amps by CJ, AR, Mc, Manley,
etc.

Stewart used the term "spearing fish in a barrel" and
you stated that it was your duty to keep Patrick Turner
under control (rather a sad deluded statement, as the
level of Patrick's knowledge is at least 60dB above
your own!)

In your dreams Iain, even your alleged level of
technical knowlege is 144 db above mine.

db? (Both letters lower case) There you go again:-) It's
a good thing you are not a musician Arny. You could not
write Gb dim and expect people to know that you meant Gb
Aug.

Nahh Iain, you just like to whine.

Both of you, as I recall used the term "feet of clay"
to describe others on the group.

Oh come on Iain don't be shy. I used "feet of clay" to
describe you.

You replied, I am told, to my BBC pal in identical terms
earlier. I presume that you got the term from Stewart -
it is unlikely you could have thought it up on your own.

Hint: it orginated in the Bible.

But whatever your agenda, together with Stewart, you
succeeded in driving away some good people, before
Stewart's rather sudden demise.

Prove it.

I correspond regularly with people who have left
Usenet because of their aversion to "John the Baptist" (that's you Arny:-)
Some ten names come to mind in just a
few seconds. That's something for a true Christian to be
proud of!

Given your propensity to lying and hyperbole Iain, that's just noise and
rumor.


Prove it.

Simply reading the posts is all the proof required.

See my former comment.

And now you talk about "harm and discomfort in others"

A phrase that trolled you quite effectively, Iain.
Thanks for indicting yourself again!

Your choice of phrase illustrates how well you live up to
your reputation as a sanctimonious born-again hypocrite.

Simply reading your posts is all the proof that is needed, Iain.

But, I must admit you *are* consistent:-)

Further discussion with you on this matter is pointless.

Iain, then stop whining, already. No, you like to spew bile. That's why you
just keep on being you.
