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.

Pinkerton's despicable "designs" don't get built.

Sure they do - just not KISASS.

He twisted this way
and that way as he tried not to publish a schematic for his wretched
KISASS "design", and -- seeing the way its incompetence was savaged
merely from the description -- who can blame him?

More lies from Jute - but what else can one expect?

My designs get built. And are used and enjoyed. Here for your enjoyment
is The KISS Amp 300B "Ultrafi" proto again, the one the lying scumbag
Pinkerton claims was never built:

So when will you be building your KISASS, Pinkerton? Go on, sport, we
can do with a good laugh.

I won't be. Why would I? It's nearly as crippled as KISS.

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.

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.

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

Andre Jute

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.

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. Thanks for helping
me prove my case point by point, Eiron, and of course for helping me
win a few bucks in bets! Come again, sport.

Andre Jute
Bring on the clowns. I like clowns. They crunch loudly when one steps
on them.

Nah, you're not confused, John. The whole point of this thread is that
it is an amp you saw many times if you clicked the link each time I
referenced it -- the same amp that Pinkerton saw many times, even as he
lied and lied and lied that I hadn't built it.

But, if you insist, I'll be happy to send the piccie referenced to your
