I don't see much point in nitpicking commercial amps against
irrelevant self-proclaimed "standards"; the test is whether the thing
works in the hands of owners, and the K40*0 worked fine for a decade
and more in my hands. We've already had a bunch of clowns in this
thread condemning one of the most succesful commercial amps in the
world *without ever seeing one or hearing it*. That sort of street
corner gossip repeated as gospel is what trashes the reputation of
RAT, not putting down the thieves of intellectual rights or netbullies
and netstalkers -- on the contrary, it is toleration and protection of
such people that trashes our reputation.

I'll second Phread, it is the personal attacking that makes this place
less-than. If you'd examine the history, RAT was a reasonable going
concern until the Jute v. Magnetquest war. Seems Andre was unable to
make a legitimate criticism of Mikey stick.

So then Andre, you mention an AB amp having A power, you reference an
80W SE amp, claim an off the rack Vellman kit is brilliant, and then
attack anybody who'd have the guts to say you've over reached. Even
with poor S/N ratio there is still signal. Let's see some from you.
