Poopie Stevenson admits he's a permanent loser About Andre Jute

Looks like I know more about tubes than you do for sure. Maybe you could make a living as comedian. I'll throw you a few one- liners to start you off: Poopie: I'm an electronics engineer. Poopie: I understand cirkew-- you know, those electric thingies. Poopie: I'm cleverer than you. Graham LOL. Unsigned for the usual reason That too |

So, what does either a guitar amp or you have to do with high fidelity sound reproduction? Or are we supposed once more to read something between the lines of your obscure low-rent soundbites? High fidelity is not in any of the the group names, even the irrelevant one (and one you were asked not to post to ) that you ADDED. If you want hi-fi, the last thing you want are TOOBS. TOOBS have poor linearity and any attempt to make a hi-fi amp with them is a struggle with their many limitations. Tubes are a near irrelevance to accurate sound reproduction. However tubes do distort the sound in an 'artistic' way which makes them very suitable for instrument amplification and 'sound efffects'. Graham |

I don't know about Eeyore's "low-rent soundbites" beyond the fact that they are annoying, but the rec.audio.tbues charter, which I posted a couple of days ago, includes guitar amps, as well as high fidelity amplifiers, and even radios which some one was complaining about, which was the reason I posted the charter. So cut Eeyore some slack on the guitar amp bit, but keep "helping" him change his habit of using those irritating "low-rent soundbites".

A challenge to the Dutch
On Oct 28, 2:48 pm, Sander deWaal wrote:
Andre Jute said: 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. I'm just a simple Dutch techie, but this schematic does things fairly well. I'll leave it up to you educated guys to determine whether this is class A, AB or class T(rash). Ra-a = 7 kohm. Vb = 440V. Raw schematic:http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/1751/wkschemod0.jpg Prototype (slightly modified, double PS tranny, some changes in component values, softstart added) :http://img122.imageshack.us/img122/3475/wkmz5.jpg Production version, fresh from China (note the different phase splitter and driver tubes) :http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/755/yarlandwkau6.jpg On demo with some DIY friends:http://members.home.nl/m.pekel/Beets...g/PA130754.JPG -- - Maggies are an addiction for life. - Will you hate me, Sander, for saying, `I love the driftwood On the Chinese kay tee eightee eight, so much better than the poli-ali of the prototype!' Is that an amp you designed for Chinese manufacture and local sale? Who sells it and how much? (And how do I get an appointment with hairdresser of the guy with the blond streak in his hair...) Okay, now for the tough question: Is this circuit an entry into the challenge to show design that has Class A output "under any signal condition"? In other words a design that can in no way be driven to cutoff? Or are you just throwing it in to lighten up the atmosphere? Welcome back.

John Byrns published the by-laws precisely for your edification. They include high fidelity applications, tube radios, even guitar amps. The rest of this crap is only your crudely uninformed opinion, which on civilized newsgroups has zero Credibility Quotient. Anyway, I'm bored with you wriggling like demented worm on a hook. Flick.

Regards, John Byrns -- Surf my web pages at, http://fmamradios.com/ I have no problem with guitar amps. One of the first amps I ever built from scratch was a guitar amp out of Aspen Pitman's book -- I chose it because I had a few of the right tubes in a stash an old ham gave me, and a chassis out of a wrecked radio a local collector gave me because it had the right sockets and holes on it. It had a delicious sound. I sold it for 600 Irish pounds, about a thousand dollars, to a local audiophile who fell in love with its sound -- and hardly a month goes by that I don't think of it and regret selling that crude little amp. My question was about whether Poopie Stevenson has any connection to high fidelity. He has since admitted he has no interest in high fidelity. Which is what we knew already. I suppose Poopie might be on RAT for the "toobed" guitar amps, but apparently he hates tubes too.

You misrepresent the facts of the actual market. A few vintage microphones use them and are in high regard for all kinds of reasons, including the roll-off caused by their transformers and the specific way their capsules have decayed. Those are the "worlds most desired" ones and there are also a few small capsule mics that are in very high regard. Kind regards Peter Larsen |

If you must use a term, then get it right, and then others that hear it from you will also learn to use the correct term in the correct sense. You will be talking abut "saxafones" next:-) I've heard the same phrase used w/r/t to just about everything from $500,000 cars to $50 prophylactics. What's your point other than sheer snobbishness? Listen to a classical recording from the Decca catalogue, or the catalogue of any classical label of high reputation. The point will be obvious. However, Arny, you could be right. Perhaps they are indeed awful. That would explain why you have so many audio awards and gold discs on the wall, while companies like Decca, DGG and Sony Classical have none:-) Inability to see the difference between megabuck corporations and a struggling recordist noted. Perhaps you are struggling because you are not very good? Iain, perhaps you waste bandwidth making ludicrous and malevelolent posts like this because you have a poor self-image, once all the bluster and pomp is stripped away? Don't let yourself be distracted from the point, Arny. Listen to some good classical recordings, made with the mics I have mentioned. You will probably not be able to fault them. Then compare these to your own work. It's the only way to learn. Iain |

Don't let yourself be distracted from the point, Arny. No, all I have to do is wait for 10 seconds or less Iain, and you'll attempt to do it all by yourself. Listen to some good classical recordings, made with the mics I have mentioned. Typical of your pomp and arrogance, Iain. You seriously think that I need to listen to more recordings than I have to know what good musicians, recorded in good rooms, with expensive equipment sounds like? LOL! You will probably not be able to fault them. Iain, there are very few recordings that are perfect to a well-practiced ear. Then compare these to your own work. It's the only way to learn. What I learn Iain is the obvious and generally agreed-upon by all but you. The core of any good-sounding recording is good musicians, recorded in good rooms. Been there, done that but not all the time. Giood musicans and good rooms are luxury that not all of us have at our disposal all of the time. You lived your life on the gravy train. Enjoy! But you are unwise to not accept that fact, and you are being malevolent and childish when you use that in a vain attempt to lord it over others. |

Don't let yourself be distracted from the point, Arny. No, all I have to do is wait for 10 seconds or less Iain, and you'll attempt to do it all by yourself. Can't we discuss this matter in a sensible way? Listen to some good classical recordings, made with the mics I have mentioned. Typical of your pomp and arrogance, Iain. You seriously think that I need to listen to more recordings than I have to know what good musicians, recorded in good rooms, with expensive equipment sounds like? I am asking you to listen to recordings make with mics which you described as suitable for EFX :-) Having done so, I am sure you will agree that the there is a very good reason why these mics are so highly regarded. You will probably not be able to fault them. Iain, there are very few recordings that are perfect to a well-practiced ear. I won't make the obvious comment:-) Then compare these to your own work. It's the only way to learn. What I learn Iain is the obvious and generally agreed-upon by all but you. The core of any good-sounding recording is good musicians, recorded in good rooms. Been there, done that but not all the time. That's only half the story. Production/engineering skills are the other half. If not, any fool could sit there and "twiddle" as Pinky used to call it:-) Recording skills are only gained by listening to other people work, their strengths and their weaknesses, and learning by them. The same applies to musical skills. Until I began to discuss recording with you, I never came upon a single person who ever used the expression, "Been there. Done That" Every single project is a new experience, a challenge from which something can be learned. Good musicans and good rooms are luxury that not all of us have at our disposal all of the time. Agreed. You lived your life on the gravy train. Enjoy! But you are unwise to not accept that fact. It has taken years of study, and very hard work. and you are being malevolent and childish when you use that in a vain attempt to lord it over others. Me? malevolent? I am your greatest fan, Arny:-) I am attempting to hold a friendly discussion with you about music recording. No more no less. Regards Iain |
