At least I am not a low-life con artist who sells people a bill of goods when it comes to the so-called sound of upscale amps and exotic wires. > Is that opposed to retired > librarians who imagine that a short circuit offers zero Ohms resistance? Close enough to zero to essentially shunt all of an amp's audible output around the speaker load and shut the amp down. > Is > that opposed to retired librarians who have no idea how the protection > systems operate in domestic (or any other) amplifiers? At least I do not claim that one's own, specially built amplifier has mysterious qualities that make it sound better than other, decently built versions. > Is that opposed to > retired librarians who have no understanding of Thevenin's Theorem? At least I do not claim that exotic speaker wires have an audible advantage over thick lamp cord. At least I do not con people into believing the audio equivalent of the tooth fairy. > You and your comments lack any kind of credibility. This, from a guy who claims that his special amp (or one that he sells, since I do not believe he designed it) has qualities that set it apart from all other decently designed versions. Yeah, it may sound different, but if so that is because there is something seriously wrong with it. > Go study up on the Dewey > Decimal System (or whatever is used in libraries now) and get back to us.
