On what basis do you assume that I share either your sexual orientation
or your sexual preference?

No bigotry implied, of course.

Of course. No need to imply that which is explicitly expressed.

But what
is the meaning of "exp(j*pi/2)"? Is this some kind of irrrational
exponent of meaning?

If you can't figure that out, you are even more ignorant than I
previously assumed.

We're all left hanging..

Pray tell, who exactly are we?

The only Ampex pro amps I recall or can find record of were the 620

speakers - which were what, 12 watts?

I had some in 1976 that were bare chassis, maybe 50 Watts, and were
totally bulletproof. At one point I drove a high voltage transformer
with them to drive two 4 foot fluorescent light tubes for a stereo light
show and the amps didn't care. A solid state unit would have just self
destructed and the dancing light patterns made it all worthwhile. Too
long ago to remember the exact model.

Ampex made a lot of amps for theatre sound systems back in the sixties,
including all of the hardware for Vista-Vision and complete turnkey
Cinemascope sound systems. They made some big power amps and some little
ones but they mostly sold them as part of turnkey assemblies.

I scrapped a bunch of them for the power transformers back then. Wish I
had kept them.

The Berklee Performance Center in Boston and also the Channel in Boston
had a bunch of Altec amps. They sounded pretty good and were huge.
Berklee changed it all out for Meyer gear and the Channel went under. I
wonder what happened to them. I also found a nice big stash of the older
ones in the projection booth at the Capitol Theater in Flint Michigan
along with a wall of replacement tubes. it was basically abandoned and
must have been Christmas come early for someone!

The Williamsburg Theatre here in Williamsburg, VA. had a complete 4-track
magnetic Cinemascope rig installed back in 1954.

In 1983 they contracted with a company in North Carolina to "upgrade" their
sound system. This company went through and pulled all the Altec amps,
which they sold in Japan. They replaced those amps with McMartin paging
amplifiers.

What is MOST horrifying is that they pulled all the Altec 600B drivers from
the full-range surround cabinets to sell in Japan, replacing them with
Radio Shack guitar speakers.

All the front end stuff went as well. Everything. It's all probably on
display in someone's house in Tokyo today. And I am sure they got more
for selling that stuff abroad than they did from the theatre owners.

I have to discredit Fourier in the process. What I am saying should be
as obvious as the sun rising but now a few people are telling me the
math doesn't lie, so I may have to attack some faulty math or the way it
is interpreted. I was bored when I came here and now I am getting
seriously frustrated.

You have considerable effort to expend. Fourier is well prepared for
your attack. Only a quitter would submit to failure via proclaimed
frustration.

Actually, you're just done; have your old lady stick a fork in your ass

Disprove Fourier, Nyquist, Shannon. You parked your brain and left your

Please don't patronize the likes of Wank Alrich. Who says Bill has to refute
Fourier or Nyquist? Only the people who are trying to browbeat him. I haven't
seen anything in his argument that requires it. It's nothing but an Appeal to
Authority fallacy, like claiming God exists because Einstein made statements
indicating he believed in the existence of God.
