Almost anyone could get published, as the magazines needed articles to
fill up their issues. This is why there are so many different audio
tube designs floating around. No one in the media world separated the
wheat from the chaff. As few people around today are familiar with the
technology of audio tube design, the chaff has puffed along with
reputable designs as "antique audio". There are a lot of bad ideas out
there along with the good ones. Let the buyer beware.

Sounds like the World Wide Web... :-) My own web site
may have its share of bad ideas... :-)
