The Pinkerton Pathology, part 1: beyond anti-social tendency into disease
Here's a bit of usenet history that now has been running more than a
year: Stewart Pinkerton claims that Andre Jute didn't build an amp. Andre Jute repeatedly tells PinkoStinko the amp is built. Still the scumball PinkoStinko calls Andre Jute a liar. Andre Jute directs PinkoStinko to a photograph of the amp. http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/t39kiss001.jpg PinkoStinko refuses to accept the proof, claiming, "No such proof has been offered, just another of your smoke and mirror deceptions." In his own post, only a few lines below PinkoStinko's mindless denial of reality and truth, we find the URL for the photograph of the amp which PinkoStinko claims has not been built: http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/t39kiss001.jpg This stubborn, heated denial is all of a piece with what I have come to think of as the Pinkerton Pathology, in which truth bears no relation to the facts, anyone who tells Pinkerton the truth is abused as a liar (another blatant example is in the quoted text below), anyone who holds Pinkerton to his own statements is abused as liar, anyone who proves from Pinkerton's own mouth that yesterday (or sometimes only minutes ago) he said the opposite of what he now claims is abused as a liar. Such a disconnection from objective reality is symptomatic of psychopathology, an extreme form of the disassociation from congenial society that Andy Evans already demonstrated goes with Pinkerton's observable personality type. Such a rejection of objective reality is well beyond jokes about phrenology; it is very likely a disease and should be treated. It of course also makes any opinion PinkoStinko offers on the objective business of audio evaluation perfectly untrustworthy, as PinkoStinko practises zero objectivity. Perhaps, in a moment of lucidity PinkoStinko realized that he is lost to objectivity, which might account for the squirming, hangdog way he tried to join me in the KISS 300B project on RAT late in 2004.

The Pinkerton Pathology, part 1: beyond anti-social tendency into disease
Stewart Pinkerton claims that Andre Jute didn't build an amp.
Mr. McCoy: With all due respect. Given your pontificating on all things Tubes ('scuse, Valves), Amps & SET. Given your opining on the relative qualities of capacitors, tubes (there I go again, VALVES), circuits, "fast" and "slow" amps and whatever else.... If http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/t39kiss001.jpg is your offering for "having built" an amp, Stewart may be wrong in the absolute, but he sure is correct in application. Either that is a breadboard experiment in concept testing, or it is Dr. VonFrankenstein's worst nightmare. Can you not afford decent tools? Interconnect wire? Have you ever soldered before? Do you understand the concept of "looming" wire? Twisting for shielding? And that is at a glance without seeing the pretzel from all sides. I would be ashamed to display that work if it were mine. So, if you really want to put Mr. Pinkerton's assertions away for good-and-all, show us an amp that you built _and_ is *finished* and working. Oh, one last question. Define "Build". Does it mean 'assemble from a prepared list of parts to someone else's circuit design'? Or does it mean designed-from-scratch? If the former, then Stewart is correct in his assertions even with your picture. If the latter, how does it work? Be honest now. And, it is enough that you like it, no need to exaggerate. You did not have to start this thread, I am sure that your acolytes believe whatever you might suggest anyway. The skeptics amongst us only groan at this so-called evidence and those of us with some fellow-feeling remaining towards you just worry that you are well-and-truly losing it. I really did think you had finally gotten your medication adjusted properly when you made your recent post on film caps. Not only was what you had to say true, but even reasonably accurate for a non-tech. But this thread... YIKES... right back off the sand-bar and out of your depth. Peter Wieck Wyncote, PA |

Are you sure you're not jealous because Andre can afford real Western
Electric 300Bs (or just the boxes thereof)? ;-) Pennsylvania is an interesting state in an intersesting country as it applies to electronics. Once, some 8 years ago, or so, my wife and I were driving back from our summer house and passed through Tamaqua, PA. We passed a garage-sale, the seller being a former WE tech. One box-lot followed me home for $5 consisting of two WE300b, two RCA 2A3, and two RCA 10. Such is life. They are long gone... given to friends who had actual vintage equipment that actually used them. And who still have them. Peter Wieck Wyncote, PA |

That's not only real WE 300B, that's a *matched pair* of real 300B. - Never argue with idiots, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. - Yeah, right. Poor old Useless Wiecky; doesn't have a tube amp, certainly never built one -- but of course he knows better than I do how it should be built. More macarooneys from the boonies; this poor johnniecomelately appears completely unaware that he can buy back copies of Glass Audio and other hobbyist magazines and perve over piccies of other amps and test gear I've built. Rather reminds me of the Magnequest Scum abusing me for a photo of my T113 I built on the proto boards when they came from the licensee in Japan. Those boards were so beautiful, I took my time soldering, making each joint a work of beauty, and then couldn't resist writing a little article about the pooftah flick of the wrist required for such beautiful soldering. The usual scum went ballistic and, true to form, for the wrong reason: because my soldering was *too* beautiful, not for my political incorrectness. Andre Jute Here's my original post in this thread, about Pinkerton's unfitness for passing judgement on anything but especially audio until he recovers his objectivity (if he ever had it, of course: I've only known him for ten years or so, during which time he displayed none). ******** Here's a bit of usenet history that now has been running more than a year: Stewart Pinkerton claims that Andre Jute didn't build an amp.

The problem, Andre, is that you claim the picture has been around for over a year:
Here's a photo that has been sitting there since around a fortnight before you thought of your wretched KISASS travesty, say 15 months: http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/t39kiss001.jpg None so blind as those who don't want to see, eh, Pinko? Unfortunately there is no reference to that image on the internet before last Wednesday so you can't prove to the cynical Mr. Pinkerton that it was there a year ago. Even more unfortunately, anyone can download the jpeg, check its properties and see when you took the photograph. -- Eiron There's something scary about stupidity made coherent - Tom Stoppard. |

Thanks, Eiron. You've just won me another 800 Euro in bets that some sockpuppet would be dumb enough to claim I took the photos of the amp recently. Okay, you want a net reference as proof. Just for you, here is a photo of the same amp: http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/K...0T68MZ417A.jpg on the net on 7 December 2004 at this reference: http://www.allaudios.org/detail-9461307.html And here is a description of how I made the potato amp by removing the two 300B, just so clowns like you and Pinkerton can't claim it isn't the same amp because the two 300B aren't sitting on it. http://www.dvd-software.info/forums/ftopic27097.html Read down a bit in this reference and you will find Pinkerton commenting on 23 April 2005 on the photograph of an amp that he has claimed many times since was not built. Pinkerton knew he was lying when he repeatedly told his lie. Stewart Pinkerton is convicted out of his own mouth of being lying scum. We know Pinkerton owes me an apology, though of course he's such uncivilized slime, I'm not holding my breath. So, let's see your apology, Eiron. In its absence I shall class you as lying scum, the same way I do PinkoStinko. I reprint my original letter in this thread below.

Here's a bit of usenet history that now has been running more than a year: Indeed it has, so isn't it interesting that this photograph has magically appeared just this week? Stewart Pinkerton claims that Andre Jute didn't build an amp. Correct - and not just me. Andre Jute repeatedly tells PinkoStinko the amp is built. Jute makes many fantastic claims - Munchausen Syndrome is like that. And in fact, your claim above is in itself a lie, since you have assiduously avoided stating as a fact that KISS existed, until last week. Still the scumball PinkoStinko calls Andre Jute a liar. So does everyone else, because you keep telling obvious lies. Andre Jute directs PinkoStinko to a photograph of the amp. http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/t39kiss001.jpg Indeed, that is a photograph of an amplifier chassis with some components visible on the top surface. Aside from the magical appearance of the 300Bs on the top deck, it is in fact a photograph of an earlier amplifier which you claimed was a 'development mule for the KISS driver stage'. This amp does appear in the 'KISS project' pages of your website, while the photograph above does not. Curious, no? PinkoStinko refuses to accept the proof, claiming, "No such proof has been offered, just another of your smoke and mirror deceptions." It's certainly not proof that any such fully functional amplifier existed a year ago. In his own post, only a few lines below PinkoStinko's mindless denial of reality and truth, we find the URL for the photograph of the amp which PinkoStinko claims has not been built: http://members.lycos.co.uk/fiultra/t39kiss001.jpg My claim predated the magical appearance of this photograph, more than a *full year* after the event, which photograph is of course not necessarily one of a fully functional amplifier.

Perhaps a copy of the newspaper the day it was taken included in the background of the next series of authentication photos. Oh, I think the that the scum who allege I didn't build an amp of which the photographs are so widely distributed will now find the onus on them to prove their dumb allegation... LOL. Watch me dance on this undereducated trailer park trash. How does it charge batteries from AC? The batteries are in a DC circuit. They trickle charge from the current flowing through the tube's resistance. It doesn't matter where in the cathode circuit the batteries are placed, the current flows, though there are arguments for putting the batteries in the grid leak position ie parallel to the attenuator and very strong arguments for putting the batteries in series with the grid. All these positions are however "in the cathode circuit" and do not affect the charging. Neat schematic. True genius. Don't make me blush, man. It's just an amp. Before I took up tube amps for my hobby I designed and built cars. One certainly met a nicer class of person among the Bentley drivers.

The "usual" scum is so bizarre in their pathologies, God himself may not know what they consider the usual penalty for excessively beautiful soldering to be. I held up the lovely fat target of "pooftah" and they objected to the beautiful soldering! I concluded that, besides being really bizarre, the usual scum are also extraordinarily insensitive. But at least extreme insensitivity fits the known profile of the *ugly engineer* and wannabes and hangersons of the same class, indeed in the opinion of many (including their unfortunate families) defines them. Even the nimble Andy Evans would be hard put to explain such excessive hatred of beautiful soldering. Even when faced with such a gulf of ignorance of the human condition (if they are indeed human, which could be debated), I find comfort in the tiny insights gained by viewing the alien growths I study from many angles. Of course, one must ration these insights. Too much understanding, for instance of a malicious cancer on society like Pinkerton, can cause uncontrollable weeping fits and seeping skin rashes.

Well for one it might be dangerous if the transformers aren't as you say "appropriate". That is my one misgiving, that the input transformer really isn't designed for this job. But this was a junk box effort, which was good enough satisfy me and to prove that "Danger Dave" didn't know what he was talking about when he made his original statement that this sort of amplifier couldn't be built without serious hum. The hum was better than 80 dB below 1 Watt out, which is better than a good number of commercial tube amplifiers with power transformers. But that was not where I was going in my previous post, what I was wondering about was if you were around "rec.audio.tubes" at the time of the "Power Amplifier Without Power Transformer" flame wars? I hadn't checked Google before posting and now that I have checked I am not sure what to make of the results. It appears that you made a number of posts to "rec.audio.tubes" in late 1997 and early 1998, but none after March 1998, so it is not clear if you weren't following the group at the time, or if you were reading but not posting to the group?

The Pinkerton Pathology, part 1: beyond anti-social tendency into disease

" wrote: Whoops.... I forgot to note that your soldering also appeared to be quite elegant as I remember, with no lethal voltages exposed above the chassis. Not the mare's nest of miscellaneous higglety-pigglety that Mr. McCoy displays in his Magnum Opus. Just an observation. I wouldn't call the wiring a "mare's nest", and in any case we may be jumping to invalid conclusions about "lethal voltages exposed above the chassis." If the amplifier in question was intended purely as a breadboard to be used to develop the circuits, then it is perfectly normal and reasonable for there to be "lethal voltages exposed above the chassis." But I suspect that the real situation here is somewhat different. It looks to me like Andre has built the amplifier circuits on a metal panel which ultimately forms one side, or the top, of an enclosure which isolates the lethal voltages from contact with stray human or animal body parts. I am only guessing at this, perhaps Andre could comment on my speculation. Regards, John Byrns Surf my web pages at, http://users.rcn.com/jbyrns/ |

Does look a lot like he lies, and you swear to it. I am not sure that I understand your question, there is no link to Andre's pictures from my home page, you must know they are there and enter the direct URL that Andre provided. If it would somehow help I could temporarily modify the HTML for my home page to include references to Andre's pictures, although it is not obvious to me how that would help given that the URL's have been posted. I haven't done it, but the issue might be somewhat settled by checking the Google archives of "rec.audio.tubes" around January 1, 2004, as I suspect there are references to these pictures and the URL's on my web pages where they are located.

The Pinkerton Pathology, part 1: beyond anti-social tendency into disease
But this was a junk box effort, which
was good enough satisfy me and to prove that "Danger Dave" didn't know what he was talking about when he made his original statement that this sort of amplifier couldn't be built without serious hum. The hum was better than 80 dB below 1 Watt out, which is better than a good number of commercial tube amplifiers with power transformers. Well, Dayuumm... One of the things being a 'repair person' teaches is that hum-free (very low hum) circuits without mains transformers and without massive electronics are pretty common, pretty simple and can be pretty good performers. And the (HFV)L6 series of tubes are particularly suited to that use. Add such niceties as not using the chassis as the common rail, input and output transformers and they are about as safe as anything else out there of a similar general class, certainly more-so than any AA5. As to the input transformer being 'designed for the job', that is a moving target. Imagine the most catastrophic cascade-failure on the system that would _NOT_ blow the fuse, how much voltage & current that would deliver to the secondary side of that transformer, and whether it could take it or not without shorting to the case or to the primary side. I have not examined your schematic in detail (nor do I know the specifications to the transformers)... I seem to remember a hand-drawn sketch. In any case, you are not intending to put this thing into production, nor are you (apparently) holding it up as an avatar of all-things-amplifier. Keep in mind, John, that no one here is 'picking' on Mr. McCoy. Were he to confine himself to 'being useful' as he seems to believe is the purpose of other people's lives (at least), he would be mostly welcome and mostly treated with the respect he deserves. However, he insists in creating his useless little alliterative fantasies, mostly out of whole cloth, and is then surprised when he is not so welcome and also treated with exactly the respect he deserves. With due respect, his magnum-opus looks like a cook-book recipe assembled with very limited skills under marginal conditions and no real understanding of the expected results. For all his pontificating, one would expect Mr. McCoy to be at a minimum a better mechanic. See, there is something to be said for 'craft'. It makes understanding what one has done infinitely easier, it sure does help prevent mistakes during the process, and it helps anyone confronted with the work in the future. It falls back to the carpenter's motto: Measure twice, cut once. There may never be quite enough time to do it right... until one is faced with the need to do it over. Platitudes, perhaps. But they got that way for clear reasons. Peter Wieck Wyncote, PA |
