The ironic sig above might require some explanation, considering that
various railroad minds infesting this newsgroup cannot conceive of a
man having more than one mistress. I like all good amps, SET, DHT, PP,
transistors, bare wire, whatever, and I don't really care overly much
whether their technicalities are justifiable to tenth-rate "engineers".
But, if one stretches a point to be kind to fools (this is the season
of goodwill after all), there are similarities between, for instance,
to take extremes, SE DHT and transistor integrated circuits at and
beyond the technical level.

This is why you refer to solid state amp builders as "silicon
slime".....

Nah, my leedle tortoise, I refer to them as silicon slime because their
devices are made from the detritus of the tube-making process. For
*builders* of solid state amps I have the highest respect; I am one
myself. But that scum never built anything except their egos. They are
consumers of lowest common denominator high street pap.
