And you know you can't do that, so - AL-nick-oh. Don't even get the Lord started on "mic," which by any interpretation of the rules of pronunciation for English must be enunciated as "mick." The downright obstinate use of the ungainly and confusing shortened form of "microphone" leads to embarrasing constructions like "micing" (*must* rhyme with "icing," sorry, shut the **** up) instead of the instantly recognizable and pronounceable "miking." (Rhymes with "hiking" - see how that works?) "Miked." (Rhymes with "hiked.") And "mike" is the proper representation of the abbreviated form of "microphone." I want all of you to do something you've never done befo step away from your monitors and pick up a dictionary. Use a good one, a real one, not one of those "Audio Cyclopedia" bull**** rags.

Why is Poopie two cheeks short of being an asshole? And a poached short of a brain, too...
Andrew JuteMcCoy exuded: A bunch of lies, quarter-truths and self-serving drivel. Every one of which was as accurate and credible as its statements on Peter Drucker, as follows: (1) Peter Drucker was the greatest theorist of applied economics business management) who ever lived. (2) Yes, my darlings, I know where the Philadelphia is, and I know where New York is, but if we're dropping names, what's few miles? Reminds me of the time when the chairman of my ad agency had this brilliant idea (he was always having brilliant ideas unless we were extra-vigilant): we would hire Drucker as a consultant. So a deputation of the directors went immediately to Drucker's office to make him an offer he couldn't refuse. My chairman was a huge fellow in his early thirties with short, very blond hair. The rest of us were muscular young men (high-profile sporting achievements were essential to rising in our organization -- that's how we met most of our clients) of definitely Aryan stock. We all wore double-welted leather-soled shoes from Lobb in London and you can bet your ass a bunch of young guys who earned seven-figure sums walked down this long passage before Drucker's office with heel-clattering confidence; most of us had been in the military somewhere (this was still in the age of conscription, where to avoid forcible induction you did ROTC) so we clattered in step, like a firing squad marching. Drucker was a Hungarian, a refugee from the Nazis... One of the PA flung the door open dramatically and we bent our heads to get through the door, then stormed up to a halt before the desk behind which this little guy cowered. My chairman said, "We have come for you!" Drucker stuttered, "I'm an American citizen now!" Needless to say, we didn't succeed in hiring him. _____________________________________ The above drivel was exuded by Mr. McCoy in search of a boost for what passes for its ego. Parsing it, the following Actual Facts would tend to suggest otherwise. I claim a familial connection here as Mr. Drucker and my father went to Law School together and remained better than acquaintances until my father's death in 1972. 1. Mr. Drucker was Austrian, and the child of a high-level bureaucrat in the Austrian government. He had no reason by race or religion to fear or dislike Hitler. 2. Mr. Drucker left Germany as a matter of conscience. He first went to England, from there to the United States. My father and he left Germany at the same time, for the same reasons and on the same transport. From there their paths did not cross again for a number of years. 3. Note that when they left, they did so freely, and not as refugees. Furthermore, they were welcomed at their respective destinations without the wary hostility that greeted Jewish refugees, sadly. 4. Mr. Drucker, by constitution and inclination, were he greeted as Mr. McCoy describes would have kicked their collective asses around the block, and then across Central Park for good measure, not acted defensively. Of course the reason that my father & Mr. Drucker would not have described each other as "Friends" is that their politics diverged significantly immediately after WW-II, with Mr. Drucker veering pretty far to the right. _________________________ Mr. McCoy, you lie as actual human beings breath.

845 dreams was: Why is Poopie two cheeks short of being an asshole? And he's two slices short of a sandwich too!
Hi RATs!
I am going to use my trioded SE 6550C to drive the 845. RC coupled. Grid R of 33K, since everybody says so On my PP 6550c, also trioded, I put a SS diode between the Plate and the Screen resistor. Sounds great What effect, if any, does this have on the max operating watts? This is the best thread in a long time Thanks to all, especially Butter Gut. Happy Ears! Al |

Sounds great What effect, if any, does this have on the max operating watts? This is the best thread in a long time Thanks to all, especially Butter Gut. Happy Ears! Al There was a guy at One Electron??? who uses a diode in the screen circuit. Presumably it allows current flow only one way into the screen from where the anode connects to the load. I don't quite understand that a screen could ever experience a current flow *out* of the tube but if there was such a flow and if it was interupted by a diode then there would be no signal voltage on the screen, so no electron flow control by the screen which while connected acts as the anode to convey the effect of the anode signal on the electron flow. In trioded multigrid tubes in a class AB PP circuit if the screen was "switched off" with a diode presumably when the anode voltage went high during current cut off then the other "on" tube has to do all the work to produce the same power, but then the rising voltage in the cut off tube couldn't absoeb any power either. I have never tried the diode in series with screen trick and done the analysis, but I once used 50V and 100V zener diodes which merely effctively reduced Eg2, and reduced the possible anode swing and I decided there were no benefits to be had. Using 6550 in triode to drive an 845 is fine but you only get slightly more gain than a 300B. Maybe if you are not wanting full power its OK, say in the case of horn speakers where the aim is fidelity at low power rather than any ability to be able to drive at full power; who the hell uses 20 watts for horn speakers?. So it may not matter to not be able to drive an amp in a horn based speaker system to full levels. Patrick Turner. |

You're probably not a computer geek because (and this was always my impression of you) you use up 99.9% of yuor geek-dom on music/audio, so there isn't any left to go around to other areas of interest. But geezmabeezus if ya gwan to verb up words, and complain about apostrophic catastrophes after micing, why not use the whole dang verb and decline the declension and say "I microphoned it". mk5000 "Just as long as I can have you And I'd do anything baby Do anything for ya And I'd do anything baby"--jojo |
