Listening to Bach's Cantata 199, My Heart Swims in Blood -- and so it
bloody well should

Indeed!.. And a fine performance by the late very great Ms Hunt Liberson
who I had the privilege of hearing at the proms a few years ago now.

And we should occassionally remember to raise our glasses to the the
recording engineers as well...

And now sadly gone before her time thanks to what we all enjoy but
endlessly argue over is still he)).....

As C. Bartoli said a few years ago after I announced that I'd already
invented enough witty stuff she woulda wanted to say to fill my
column, so we could immediately get down to what really matters, "You
brought more of that super chocolate!"

Thanks for the tip, Tony. I don't have that one but that is easily
remedied.

The BWV 199 I mentioned was added because it is on a disc featuring
the countertenor Andreas Scholl, a favourite of mine, with the
excellent Barbara Schlick. Or I might just have added it because my
habit through the 90s was to prefer the disc from the Harmonia Mundi
label, or anything distributed by HM (this particular disc is on
Auvidis, distributed by HM), unless the alternative was by a known-
good artist. Whoever was in charge at HM during the years I built up
the major part of my collection was either too godawfully lucky to fit
any know statistical format or had the most enviable taste. In Bach
cantata getting me to deviate from the Ton Koopman complete set on
Erato (which anyway also has the ubiquitous Barbara Schlick), or
duplicating part of, is a hard job, but Scholl will always tempt me...

Agree with that as I get older;))...

For your edification, here is a guy (Yaeger) the Pathetic Dishonest Garbage
Peddler who spends dinner time on Christmas day (check the archives below)
lurking on this NG, desperately trying to dig up anything on his superiors
to please his Guru, Peter the Wiecked. Let's at least give him a pat on the
back for this attempt, which obviously fizzled.

Small is also beautiful. The small is the genesis of the large.

It's funny that some cannot grasp this fundamental concept with
single
ended triode (SET) amps. We routinely build preamps and voltage
multiplication stages of triodes operating single-ended, and the
diehards who with a convulsive kneejerk reject any amp without a
push-
pull power stage will be the last to let go of the single-ended gain
stage, yet they cannot see that the small signal stage is a template
for the sweetest power stage.

What is sauce of quail must be sauce for the goose and the gander
too.

Very difficult to understand how some people think.

**Speak for yourself. The best valve preamps I've ever heard are push
pull (Alan Wright's fabulous balanced preamps spring to mind).

And those pre-war WE cinema amplifiers that were referred to in
another
thread had one or two stages of push-pull amplification before the
output
stage. But then they were money-no-object designs, designed to produce
the
best performance possible with the technology of their time.

**Pre-zactly. Since the advent of push-pull, SE has been negated,
except in
cheap, crappy amplifiers.

Trevor Wilson

Let's hear that again?

Then why are you spending so much time, Wilson, trying to stem the
tide of SE amps chosen by sophisticated music lovers?

except in
cheap, crappy amplifiers.

Eh? Most SE amps built or bought by audiophiles are not far off the
price of a reasonable used car.

Do you ever reread these vomitings you send out, Wilson, and reflect
that their irrationality and ignorance cannot reflect well on you?

Unsigned out of exasperation with this idiot Wilson

Andre,

You had this discussion with Trevor back in 2005. Your point of view,
quoted below, was distinctly different then.

"The truth is, Trevor, that my personal taste and the winner in blind
tests with the musicians (still unspecified, if you don't mind) I like

feedback. The best amp I ever designed is my T113 Class A PP EL34 in
triode mode (its switchable, actually) with zero or very little
negative feedback (also tunable in my own copy). That doesn't mean I
abhor SET or solid state. I have and use both, too. Nor does the choice
necessarily have anything to do with your reasons above."

Yeah, poor Yaeger's attempt to attract my attention "fizzled" all
right. I never saw it. I wouldn't have replied if I had. Yeager lacks
the sophistication to understand that one may have several amps each
of which is best or at least favourite for a different purpose. It is
like a gentleman keeping at least one black automobile in his carriage
house so that he may attend funerals.
