So if a search of patents was made your name would

I have no assigned patents in audio amplifier design. I never
claimed I did. Not that it really matters much these days since
audio amplifier design is basic engineering.

However, you would find these issued patents:

6,489,755 Active ripple and noise filter for telecommunication
equipment powering
6,437,574 Auxiliary battery test and alarm system for
telecommunication equipment
6,404,174 Circuit for in-system programming of memory device
6,584,197 Power-limited remote termination converter with wetting
current and emergency power operation for digital data
transmission equipment
6,628,782 Ring voltage termination by means of a spare fuse
6,668,060 Tracking switchmode power converter for telephony
interface circuit

....and 13 others in the published patent database.

You've done nothing which was not been overseen by
a supervisor, mr. Self-importance.

Again you show your ignorance.

You do even have
an advanced college degree in EE?

BS and MSEE from Auburn University.

You've questioned my net worth which by the preceding

Arny, apparently quite a bit older than Rusty, has all of the same

up or shut up!

no response, Powell obviously has no reply or defense

I couldn't help notice that you started posting to the group
at 4:38 a.m. You wrote "That's about 10,000 a year, or 833
per month or 27 per day. Most posts take me a minute or
two, so this represents maybe an hour or two, more or
less worth of effort per day." Even on the weekends you
don't seem to be able to have any life outside this ng.
You're angry 24/7 it seems.

You are one confused little boy, Powell. I made that post on 12/13/2003 at
6:21 pm EDT.

Here's the URL that supports my claim:

You wrote "I make no pretenses about being a scientist,
legitimate or otherwise." Agreed. You're an enigma
wrapped in a mystery.

You then continued by saying, "I'm just a guy who loves
to listen to music." I disagree. Your true "love" is the
time intensive dehumanizing hatred you lavish on
all the members of this group.

Powell I posted this about a fortnight ago. Why are you like two weeks late
with your response? Does that mean that I'll have to wait over two weeks for
an answer to the questions that you soughed, above?

Especially if you turn the lights down, you can almost see
and hear the electrons jumping off the warm thread. And
they MUST be warmer than those cold electrons of SS
amplifiers. If you listen carefully, while watching the glow,
for sure you can hear the warmth of those electrons. Mmm...

Isn't that part of the experience?

Sure it is.

Hehehe... "see and hear the electrons jumping off the
warm thread." Really, how so... Svante comment was
making a point with satire?


Sure, there was a lot of satire there. On the other hand, I think that
it is everyones right to enjoy the dim lights of a tube amplifier, and
it isn't unlikely that the visual impression is important for how we
perceive it's quality. And, as seen in this thread, humans are very
emotional, so it is not unlikely that visual quality can be confused
with auditive quality.
It is not wrong to like the tube amplifiers because of their visual
appearance
and I can understand that it will affect the overall experience. Just
like the compositions you may get at a good restaurant. Of course it
does not matter for the taste of the food if it is perfectly laid out
on the plate. Or does it?
