What is your problem, Scott? This is a thread throwing out an
amplifier design challenge. Don't the pros on RAP design amplifiers?
Andre Jute
A lot of really good designers used to hang here until bombarded with
too much behavior such as you are currently exhibiting.
You daily bitch-slapped "engineers" who lied about professional
matters? Good golly! Doesn't say much for the quality of contributors
you attracted, or it says a lot for the probity police on your
newsgroup.
That is all I did in the previous thread, lightly whack Poopie
Stevenson for lying about a professional matter for personal reasons,
and Slapdash Krueger and Bluster Pearce ditto for supporting him in
his lie for personal reasons ditto.
I suggest that an idiot like Poopie Stevenson shouting down competent
people is far more likely to drive away designers than me slapping
Poopie down for his crimes against fidelity. I expect most designers
would rather enjoy that.
I also suggest to you that your whining doesn't belong in a thread in
which I set up an amp design challenge. I'm trying to do something
positive, and all we get in the thread from the rest of you
farcatchers is bitching about me, which everyone with half a braincell
must surely know by now I don't even read after the second round in
which the fartcatcher contributes neither techical input nor
entertainment.
Now most of
them are on privately moderated forums.
Maybe they got tired of your fruitless bitching.
Do something useful. If that rude Dutch fellow doesn't take up the
challenge, why don't you? I give it again in full below the signature.

Here's the original challenge, lest it get lost in the noise floor:

That is why we have this thread, to explain to the three self-styled
"engineers" Graham Stevenson, Arny Krueger and Don Pearce that a Class
A amplifier must have its signal limited or it is no longer a Class A
amplifier. How can any properly educated engineer not know that the
signal in an amplifier class is by necessity limited? Yet those three
signed their names repeatedly to a claim that Class A is
an amplification Class in which "the output device(s) never cease
conducting under any signal condition."
You really should try to express yourself more clearly. There are
several modes of amplification. In Class A "the output device(s)never
cease conducting" Amplifiers are designed to use one (or more) modes of
amplification. When used outside the specified signal range, the
amplifier wont operate in the designed mode(s) of amplification. e.g. if
you don't supply mains power, none of the output devices will conduct.
Even switched off, and not operating at all, an amplifier designed to
operate in Class A will remain an amplifier desinged to operate in Class A,
Now you're down to pulling the plug to make an absurd misdefinition by
Graham Poopie Stevenson work. That is taking professional solidarity
among "engineers" too far.
But all right, Mijnheer van Gennip, you want to be a slim jannie --and
in English too! So show us how you would design an amplfier either
Class A or with substantial Class A output (i.e. Class AB) in which
"the output device(s)never cease conducting under any signal
condition". Note the important qualification "under any signal
condition". That means exactly what it says in plain English: you
design the amplifier, I choose the signal level to be vastly larger
than the specified bias, then you prove it still operates in Class A.
May you have Pinkerton's Luck. By all means call on the Three Stooges
for help.
