Hey, Useless Wiecky, where is your apology for being a know-nothing and
an abusive bully?

Peter Wieck, who posts as and is also known on RAT and
elsewhere as Useless Wiecky, grossly abused several posters for
correctly saying an Akai M-8 is single-ended. Useless Wiecky claimed
ignorantly that it is push-pull. You can start following Useless
Wiecky's nastiness he

Hand's up those who think this slimeball Useless Wiecky owes everyone
an apology, and particularly to those he abused in that thread.

Useless Wiecky's only support so far comes from the Magnequest Scumball
Henry Pasternack, who was long since run out of RAT for exactly the
same behaviour as Useless.

Nor can you read, Mr. McCoy. SET was the original postulate... your
particular bugbear. And you were strangly silent when that was put
forth. So, exactly what is it that has your panties in a wad? That the
M8 is not SET (never was), or that I mistook it for being PP? (and I am
still searching for the Akai tape amp schematic that I saw that was
PP... I am stubborn when I have what I think is a clear memory). As to
"abusing" Master Ruud, if you have time to hand-hold deliberately
stupid children (as an entirely separate condition from ignorant), you
have more patience than I.

I did a scan for a free online schematic of the M8 as well.

My recollection is that the later tubed Akai recorders with built-in mono
power amplifiers (which AFAIK included some models that were stereo up to
line level), had power amps that were indeed p-p. But, the ones with
stereo tubed power amps were single-ended. IOW, the decision to built
single-ended power amps was related to issues like packaging, not a desire
to go backwards technologically.

I'm sure that just about every AKAI M8, which were sold in huge volumes to
GIs through PXs and not to audiophiles through high end audio stores, has
been safely consigned to a landfill. Of course it takes an maniac like this
Jute sockpuppet to try to globally abuse someone over a tiny nit like this.

While I'm not certain who abused who, it is hardly a "tiny nit" to confuse
a push pull amplifier with a single ended tube amplifier, especially when
single ended amplifiers are what the thread is discussing.

Agreed that there are many big differences between p-p and se.

The nit aspect of this situation comes from considering how obscure the
reference is.

The Akai M8 was hardly a pace-setting product.

I was trying to remember how the mono power amp fitted with the rest of the
unit wh\ich was stereo. I then remembered that Akai might have sold a
matching powered speaker to serve as the other channel of a stereo pair.

While nits are on the table, the issue was SET initially. Single-ended
was an outgrowth of that as the SET claimant under another alias
suggested-by-implication that the EL84 was triode-connected. The M8 was
never a Single-Ended-Triode amp. You will also notice that I did put my
money where my opinions were on that... and the bet still stands.
Something that Mr. McCoy conveniently cannot understand.

It was (more-or-less) the same amp as uncounted millions of German
table radios, cheap Zenith radios and doubtless thousands of others
made using a Pentode (6BQ5/EL84) as the output tube. No poetry expended
on the lovely sound of these beasts, I see.

John:

I am not really overly concerned that Peter "Useless" Wiecky made a
mistake, no matter how big. I leave crowing about other peoples
mistakes to idiots like Krueger, his sidekick Pinkostinko, and to
curtaintwitchers like Useless Wiecky himself. It seems to me that
decent people consider being wrong a learning experience and apologize
quickly when they are proven wrong.

What I object to is Useless Wiecky's foul abuse of everyone who was
right in the thread in which he was so grossly wrong, starting he

http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=htt...3472e864e2599c

What I object to his Useless Wiecky's attempt to evade responsibility
by blaming everyone else for his own shortcomings, errors and foul
manners.

What I object to is travelling netscum like Pasternack and Krueger
immediately racing to the aid of their bumbuddy Peter Wieck, trying to
detract attention from Useless Wiecky's crimes with ad hominem abuse.

Though one must say that the activity of known scum rushing to support
Useless Wiecky immediately tells us precisely what Useless is: unwanted
scum, same as Krueger and Pasternack. Birds of a feather flock
together.

Below is my complete original post, to put this thread back on the
rails, which is to demand an apology from the know-nothing netbully
Peter Wieck for his gross abuse of posters speaking from hard
knowledge. It seems to me that if we let slime like Useless get away
with abusing those who know more than he does, soon no-one who knows
anything will contribute to RAT.

personal animosities.

Mr. McCoy:

Try something new. Repetition of the same tired stupidities certainly
does not enhance whatever case you might pretend. Most certainly your
hands are far from clean. The merest bit of googling confirms that and
much, much more.

c.f. Andrew Jute McCoy and more.

If it is all some kind of hoax then it's a well researched one.
I'd be the first to acknowledge that things on the Internet
are quite often not what they seem, but in this case I think not.
There is an Andre Jute listed in the Irish phone book for
a small town near Cork, which is where he claims to live.
There are also some out of print books in the same name.

I thnk he's just an attention seeking nut-case. He's harmless
as long as you don't let him get to you. He's a fairly competent
writer (overlooking the fact that the actual content of his
writing is vituperous drivel). He has some fairly basic understanding
of electronics and tubes, enough to fool not only quite a few people on
this newsgroup for a while, but also Glass Audio magazine for whom
he wrote some stuff a few years back. However as soon as
things go into any depth he is lost, technically, and he absolutely
hates that.

The world is full of strange people, and the Internet has an uncanny
ability to find them.

Please refrain from this pathetic licking of Jute's arse. SET does not
and never has meant single-ended tube, it means single-ended *triode*,
which the M8 certainly was not.

Nope, I didn't say the M8 was SET. I wrote out single-ended, which is
precisely correct. Useless Wiecky, a known liar, lied that I said SET.
Pinkerton, widely known for not checking facts (as in the Quad ESL
debacle when he presented himself as an "expert" based on a misreading
of the*front page* of the Quad site) believed the liar Wieck, didn't
check, and is now embarrassed with Useless Wieck at being caught out in
another transparent lie. Scum is as scum does.

Stewart Pinkerton | Music is Art - Audio is Engineering

You're a veeeeery slow learner, Pinkostinko, you're gullible, you're
stupid and you're slack.

No matter how much smoke you scummy bum-buddies blow, Useless Wiecky
exposed his gross ignorance and, worse, abused half a dozen posters who
know far more than he does about the M8, about tubes, about everything
else as far as I can see (1). This thread isn't about Wiecky's
ingnorance, it is about his bullying and abuse. It is good that the
known bullies and abusers like Pinkostinko and Krueger jump in to
defend one of their own, so everyone can see who the scum are.

Andre Jute

(1) Peter Wieck has the grotesque cheek to hold himself up as a tube
expert but since he was exposed as a blustering ignoramus in the M8
instance, we have also discovered that this "expert" doesn't know the
difference between fixed and auto-bias. Is it any surprise to anyone
that Peter Wieck is known to connoisseurs of tenthraters as "Useless"?
