I was publishing the rationale for an ultrafidelity 300B amp in stages.
You, Pinkerton, kept interfering, deliberately wrecking discussion with
your silicon crap.

Just another typical Jute lie. What I did was point out the numerous
flaws in your so-called 'design' process - after sifting through
hundreds of lines of your usual turgid prose in search of something
approximating actual technical information.

When I told you, yes, you Pinko, to **** or get off
the pot, you claimed you could build a silicon amp with zero feedback
that would sound as good as my 300B amp. That's a challenge.

You said no such thing, and neither did I. I simply said that a SS amp
could be built with a similar transfer curve to your abortion -
although with better linearity. In no possible way did I suggest that
such a crippled turd (yours or mine) would sound good. That is your
personal delusion, certainly not shared by me or by any other
competent audio engineer.

Graciously I stopped work on my own project to clear the decks for your
challenger, I thought for a week or two. The delay turned into many
months because it turned out that you, Pinkothicko were as pig-ignorant
of audio design as of everything else.

Just another typical Jute lie. My design appeared within a few weeks.

It turned out that, before you
could design anything, you had to be given a crash course in audio
design by Patrick Turner and John Byrns.

Just another typical Jute lie. They certainly offered useful advice on
their own way of doing things, but since I've been a professional
electronics engineer for more than thirty years, *and grew up in an
era when tube amps were all we had*, I hardly needed a 'crash course'
in amplifier design from either of those guys (no disrespect to either
of them).

Considering the results, those two guys get an A+ for goodwill and
trying really hard, but they an F- for failing to turn you into
anything that even remotely approximates an audio designer. (Turner and
Byrns will see me after class. Their apples had better be big and
shiny...)

You will never be qualified to make any such judgement.

After further huge delays while you, Pinkerton, tried to wriggle out of
your rash promise, you produced a piece of **** on paper that didn't
have the devices indicated, that was unbuilt, untested, undocumented,
and that broke every one of the rules of the contest. Oh yes folks, did
I mention yet, I permitted the foul Oinkerton to set his own rules for
the contest...

There *was* no contest, you pathetic old blowhard. And I cheerfully
acknowledge that KISASS is piece of **** - it is however a better
design than your KISS piece of ****.......................

After you, Pinkerton, set the rules yourself, including zero feedback,
your little paper design used all kinds of feedback, twice as many
devices as were in the rules, etc, etc, an absolute travesty not only
as an audio device and a challenge but because it broke the rules you
made and agreed to.

Bull****. You're just trying, once again, to lie your way out of being
the biggest joke on RAT.

You wriggled this way and that way, Pinkerton, but it was clear to
everyone that you lost the contest before you even started. Now you
claim you never made the challenge. Anyone can google to months of
exchanges about it.

Indeed they can, and in every one of my posts they'll see that no
'contest' was ever acknowledged.

The challenge, the process and the outcome stand on
the record. You're a liar, Pinkerton, besides being a sore loser, an
electronics incompetent, and ill-mannered slime.

You just can't resist these perfect examples of projection, can you?

Well of course not - your pathological personality is on display for
all to see.

******
Incidentally... When I realized what a rolling, time-wasting
cluster**** the Pinkerton Challenger would turn out, I overnight
published my own simple, straightforward
silicon-that-sounds-approximately-like-tubes-design, built it, tested
it, played it while I waited for Pinkerton to stop wriggling as he
realized he was outmatched, and for the others to crucify him on his
rash promises.

Another pathetic lie, as that 'design' was published *long* before you
started the 'KISS' posts.

We still cannot see the Oinkerton Challenger anywhere, because even
it's 'designer', the incompetent and undiscriminating Pinkerton,
wouldn't waste his time building such a crappy 'design'. I'm playing my
miniGainBrick Zip right now...

Bloody right I wouldn't waste my time building anything as crippled as
KISASS. it was offered only as a 'minimalist' curiosity for RATters
who might be interested in the SS equivalent of a simple SET jobbie.

And of course, not even you have actually built KISS.
