Actually, of course, KISASS is extremely simple - that being the whole
point of the exercise. It also works better than your pathetic - and
never built - piece of DHT trash.


Just a moment Mr.P, just a moment. You yourself admitted that you
had not bothered to build your design, and neither has anyone else on
this group. So whence your assertion that it "works better?"

I was interested to build your amplifier, and showed your
schematic to the head of technical service at Swedish TV.
He studied it carefully, for thirty seconds, screwed the paper
into a ball, tossed it into the waste bin.


Is that supposed to be a measure of design skill ?

If anyone showed me a schematic of an SET withut context, I'd likely
respond
the same. What's the point in recreating tired lousy old designs ??



Stewart's design was supposed to be a modern SS equivalent of Andre's
KISS SET tube amp. The idea came about just to keep Stewart quiet
for a while - so that Andre could complete the description of his valve/tube
design in peace on RAT.

No-one, not even Stewart himself, had enough confidence in the
performance to actually build it.
