"Sander deWaal" wrote in message ... " said: The QSC just needed a couple filter caps, so repair is a perfectly reasonable option. Huh? How old is that amp? I'm sorry, I don't own a QSC I meant the Acoustat. I don't really know how old it is, as I said I bought it used. Providing proper ventilation and no voltage surges, 'lytics should survive at least 10 years before problems may be expected. I have had over 10 years now. If you can get them, try BHC components electros, they have a good rep for longevity (both with me and some other amp builders). While you're at it, select a value and voltage that's a tad higher than specified. A look inside this puppy will tell you that it is over built in the first place, but I know bigger caps giveyou a bit more headroom. |

You'd like to believe that wouldn't you. The fact is in a blind comparison, you couldn't do it either. Naturally being the coward you are, you would never subject yourself to that kind of failure. |

Fair's fair, Robert. :-) Paul, the talent of the mckelviphibian for mimicry has been noted by amphibian biologists. While further research should be conducted, I am inclined to think that the verbiage you have noted is part of the Arny Krueger phrasebook. However, I support the desire of all of God's creatures to better themselves, so here, rewritten, appears the sentence as it should have in the first place: "Your denial of the efficacy and reliability of the ABX protocol is indicative of your skeptical nature." And (as Churchill would say) with that, I could not agree more. I didn't mean that the sentence made sense or was well written, just that Mike is trying to disprove your poor opinion of him, and is thus interested in "self improvement", a sure spur to evolutionary progress. I was just hoping you might acknowledge his efforts. Wrong, I am not trying to prove anything, my vocabulary is fine, my typing and forgetfulness bout spell check is another problem entirely. Mikey, your vocabulary is small. Your grammar is poor. And yes, your spelling is also poor, but it is the least of your problems. You cannot blame your poor writing on forgetfulness. Writing exhibits the quality of the mind. You have shown us nothing. Blah, blah, blah. |

I'm familiar with the TNT200, one of the best amps of the era if you ask me. Good build quality as well, except for the internal wiring.

A higher specified voltage will in general lengthen the life of electros by several years. If you're not sure about your rectfier and tranny capable of handling the higher cap values, put a 0.1 ohm/10 watt WW resistor in each supply rail to the filter caps to avoid high current peaks during the charge period (8.3 mS for your 60 Hz mains frequency). -- "Audio as a serious hobby is going down the tubes." - Howard Ferstler, 25/4/2005 |

If your type 120 is a light version of the TNT200, the design is most likely from Jim Strickland, who did things a bit better than Pass IMHO.

The mckelviphibian dreams "I don't really have a replacementcareer," Morein said. "It's a very gnawing thing."
In article , "Arny Krueger"
wrote: Morein just rags on QSC amps to try to troll me. Very true, Mr. Krueger. He can't stop masquerading as a "scientist". He has nothing else to do. As he told the newspaper when they interviewed him, ""I don't really have a replacement career," Morein said. "It's a very gnawing thing." Now he's gnawing on you and your group. Think about it. . . My one and only son has lived in the same room, in the same house, in MY house, since the early 1950's. He's never had a job. NEVER. He always impressed everyone as a "smart guy", although I know now he's just a bull**** artist. SURE he's "smart" - he went to college for almost 20 years on my dime! His room is filled with electronics, computers, wires, empty beer cans, and all nature of trash. He rarely leaves the house, but spends hours in the basement "inventing". Do you know how many times we've had police, FBI, Secret Service, and other investigators here? They won't charge him because he's mentally ill. $100,000 to the first person that can get this 53 year old into a job, any job, and out of my house. Sylvan Morein, DDS PROVEN PUBLISHED FACTS about my Son, Robert Morein -- Robert Morein History -- http://www.ledger-enquirer.com/mld/l...ws/4853918.htm Doctoral student takes intellectual property case to Supreme Court By L. STUART DITZEN Philadelphia Inquirer PHILADELPHIA -Even the professors who dismissed him from a doctoral program at Drexel University agreed that Robert Morein was uncommonly smart. They apparently didn't realize that he was uncommonly stubborn too - so much so that he would mount a court fight all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge his dismissal. The Supremes have already rejected this appeal, btw. "It's a personality trait I have - I'm a tenacious guy," said Morein, a pleasantly eccentric man regarded by friends as an inventive genius. "And we do come to a larger issue here." An "inventive genius" that has never invented anything. And hardly "pleasantly" eccentric. A five-year legal battle between this unusual ex-student and one of Philadelphia's premier educational institutions has gone largely unnoticed by the media and the public. Because no one gives a **** about a 50 year old loser. But it has been the subject of much attention in academia. Drexel says it dismissed Morein in 1995 because he failed, after eight years, to complete a thesis required for a doctorate in electrical and computer engineering. Not to mention the 12 years it took him to get thru high school! BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Morein, 50, of Dresher, Pa., contends that he was dismissed only after his thesis adviser "appropriated" an innovative idea Morein had developed in a rarefied area of thought called "estimation theory" and arranged to have it patented. A contention rejected by three courts. From a 50 YEAR OLD that has done NOTHING PRODUCTIVE with his life. In February 2000, Philadelphia Common Pleas Court Judge Esther R. Sylvester ruled that Morein's adviser indeed had taken his idea. An idea that was worth nothing, because it didn't work. Just like Robert Morein, who has never worked a day in his life. Sylvester held that Morein had been unjustly dismissed and she ordered Drexel to reinstate him or refund his tuition. Funnily enough, Drexel AGREED to reinstate Morein, who rejected the offer because he knew he was and IS a failed loser. Spending daddy's money to cover up his lack of productivity. That brought roars of protest from the lions of academia. There is a long tradition in America of noninterference by the courts in academic decisions. Backed by every major university in Pennsylvania and organizations representing thousands of others around the country, Drexel appealed to the state Superior Court. The appellate court, by a 2-1 vote, reversed Sylvester in June 2001 and restored the status quo. Morein was, once again, out at Drexel. And the time-honored axiom that courts ought to keep their noses out of academic affairs was reasserted. The state Supreme Court declined to review the case and, in an ordinary litigation, that would have been the end of it. But Morein, in a quixotic gesture that goes steeply against the odds, has asked the highest court in the land to give him a hearing. Daddy throws more money down the crapper. His attorney, Faye Riva Cohen, said the Supreme Court appeal is important even if it fails because it raises the issue of whether a university has a right to lay claim to a student's ideas - or intellectual property - without compensation. "Any time you are in a Ph.D. program, you are a serf, you are a slave," said Cohen. Morein "is concerned not only for himself. He feels that what happened to him is pretty common." It's called HIGHER EDUCATION, honey. The students aren't in charge, the UNIVERSITY and PROFESSORS are. Drexel's attorney, Neil J. Hamburg, called Morein's appeal - and his claim that his idea was stolen - "preposterous." "I will eat my shoe if the Supreme Court hears this case," declared Hamburg. "We're not even going to file a response. He is a brilliant guy, but his intelligence should be used for the advancement of society rather than pursuing self-destructive litigation." No **** sherlock. The litigation began in 1997, when Morein sued Drexel claiming that a committee of professors had dumped him after he accused his faculty adviser, Paul Kalata, of appropriating his idea. His concept was considered to have potential value for businesses in minutely measuring the internal functions of machines, industrial processes and electronic systems. The field of "estimation theory" is one in which scientists attempt to calculate what they cannot plainly observe, such as the inside workings of a nuclear plant or a computer. My estimation theory? There is NO brain at work inside the head of Robert Morein, only sawdust. Prior to Morein's dismissal, Drexel looked into his complaint against Kalata and concluded that the associate professor had done nothing wrong. Kalata, through a university lawyer, declined to comment. At a nonjury trial before Sylvester in 1999, Morein testified that Kalata in 1990 had posed a technical problem for him to study for his thesis. It related to estimation theory. Kalata, who did not appear at the trial, said in a 1998 deposition that a Cherry Hill company for which he was a paid consultant, K-Tron International, had asked him to develop an alternate estimation method for it. The company manufactures bulk material feeders and conveyors used in industrial processes. Morein testified that, after much study, he experienced "a flash of inspiration" and came up with a novel mathematical concept to address the problem Kalata had presented. Without his knowledge, Morein said, Kalata shared the idea with K-Tron. K-Tron then applied for a patent, listing Kalata and Morein as co-inventors. Morein said he agreed "under duress" to the arrangement, but felt "locked into a highly disadvantageous situation." As a result, he testified, he became alienated from Kalata. As events unfolded, Kalata signed over his interest in the patent to K-Tron. The company never capitalized on the technology and eventually allowed the patent to lapse. No one made any money from it. Because it was bogus. Even Kalata was mortified that he was a victim of this SCAMSTER, Robert Morein. In 1991, Morein went to the head of Drexel's electrical engineering department, accused Kalata of appropriating his intellectual property, and asked for a new faculty adviser. The staff at Drexel laughed wildly at the ignorance of Robert Morein. He didn't get one. Instead, a committee of four professors, including Kalata, was formed to oversee Morein's thesis work. Four years later, the committee dismissed him, saying he had failed to complete his thesis. So Morein ****s up his first couple years, gets new faculty advisers (a TEAM), and then ****s up again! Brilliant! Morein claimed that the committee intentionally had undermined him. Morein makes LOTS of claims that are nonsense. One look thru the usenet proves it. Judge Sylvester agreed. In her ruling, Sylvester wrote: "It is this court's opinion that the defendants were motivated by bad faith and ill will." So much for political machine judges. The U.S. Supreme Court receives 7,000 appeals a year and agrees to hear only about 100 of them. Hamburg, Drexel's attorney, is betting the high court will reject Morein's appeal out of hand because its focal point - concerning a student's right to intellectual property - was not central to the litigation in the Pennsylvania courts. Morein said he understands it's a long shot, but he feels he must pursue it. Failure. Look it up in Websters. You'll see a picture of Robert Morein. The poster boy for SCAMMING LOSERS. "I had to seek closure," he said. Without a doctorate, he said, he has been unable to pursue a career he had hoped would lead him into research on artificial intelligence. Who better to tell us about "artificial intelligence". BWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! As it is, Morein lives at home with his father and makes a modest income from stock investments. He has written a film script that he is trying to make into a movie. And in the basement of his father's home he is working on an invention, an industrial pump so powerful it could cut steel with a bulletlike stream of water. FAILED STUDENT FAILED MOVIE MAKER FAILED SCREENWRITER FAILED INVESTOR FAILED DRIVER FAILED SON FAILED PARENTS FAILED INVENTOR FAILED PLAINTIFF FAILED HOMOSEXUAL FAILED HUMAN FAILED FAILED But none of it is what he had imagined for himself. "I don't really have a replacement career," Morein said. "It's a very gnawing thing." |
