Thanks for the full description, Henry. The question is not whether
the circuit is propriety or whether you adapted it but whether it
started in a Gordon Rankin circuit. Or you might decide you'd rather
stay out of Yaeger's futile flame war.
No, Andre, the amplifiers I sold to Jon were a push-pull design based
loosely on Williamson. The Rankin circuit you are thinking of is the
"Baby Ongaku", a SE 2A3 design that I also adapted, built, and later
sold (but not to Jon Yaeger). There is no relationship between the
amps I sold to Jon and Gordon Rankin's published work, save that
they all use vacuum tubes.
I've added pictures of the 2A3 amplifiers to the Picasa web album so
you can see the difference.
I've explained all of this to you several times in the past and am a bit
puzzled why you keep repeating this misinformation. This seems to
be a pattern for you.
Must be because I focus on this sort of reproach and worry about it,
and then the good information is spoilt and lost.
Here, let's see if you're in a suitable frame of mind not to explode
on RAT within the week: Isn't Wolfie's monicker a bit presumptuous
for someone of your amateur standing on the piano?
What I lack in professionalism at the piano, Andre, I make up in
earnestness. Although you haven't heard me play... I might be better
than you expect.
Of course you might. But I know how well you play because you told us
the last time you dropped in. See, I do remember when you don't
clutter your posts with superfluous hits.
Perhaps you should learn an instrument -- you would
find it rewarding and therapeutic, if only you could bring yourself to put
in the effort.
I cycle instead. Pretty ladies cycle with me. I do my own bike
mechanicking.
If you can internalize that without heartburn, perhaps you should
give RAT a go. We'll all be very nice to you. Won't we, chaps?
Thanks, but I just stopped by to correct the misstatements you had
posted.
John will be disappointed.
