Its really NOT about the place your volume control is set, but rather, how the amp plays music overall, its presentation, vivaciousness, at the normal levels you will use.I think it would be rude and crude to come in with amended schematics. Paul Joppa is a highly competent designer and a perfect gentleman. ALL I did was point out to you, two design areas that "I" deemed to be flawed. Lets please leave it at that.

I don't think it would in the least. I bet Paul wouldn't mind either.
" Paul Joppa is a highly competent designer and a perfect gentleman."
I agree completely. Would you want his blessing?
"ALL I did was point out to you, two design areas that "I" deemed to be flawed. Lets please leave it at that."
If you actually do want to leave it at that, but I don't think you will. Just think, the end result could be that everyone has to shut up while you crow. That's quite a prize. You have a little time to think about it.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
Hello,
You state
"If you actually do want to leave it at that, but I don't think you will. Just think, the end result could be that everyone has to shut up while you crow. That's quite a prize. You have a little time to think about it."
I really do not know what you mean, or what you are assuming above, or what to say in response.
I don't think ANY of your response ( above ) has much to do with the subject at hand. Are we playing psychological games here? Golly, how dumb of me, and all along, I thought this was the Tube DIY Forum. Oh well.

Hi Jeff.
Over the years I have advocated your right to say what you believe but you need to take a bit of that attitude to heart as well. Not everyone wants your brand of audio joy and even more don't think it's a path they will ever follow. You may think that yours is the only way to DIY bliss but there are so many other ways to get to the destination that don't involve your reverence for personal mentors, audio gurus or other audio/metaphysical methods.
You really need to step back, look at how you are interacting with other inmates and take a deep breath. Pushing your opinions(and that's all they are) on others doesn't make for many converts or on-line friends.
I'm having a hard time lately doing the "I disagree with you, but I'll fight to defend your right to say it" thing, partly because I'm from Canada, where we don't have that in our history and partly because I think you're full of crap.
You sort it out.
Kyle,
I like Canadians generally. YOU may think I am full of crap, which is unfortunate for you, but I don't think that at all.
The things I post about, I have pretty much tried in almost all cases, and I am fairly accurate in what I report. My opinions come from a direct result of me either building the circuit, or, hearing it DIRECTLY in a high quality hi fi systems, which 100% of my detractors seemingly have not done at all !!!
So I have the direct experience, sometimes decades worth, that they don't have.
People who have built stuff with my assistance, are generally speaking very happy campers. There has not been a lot of them that are willing to pay to do it properly, but thats OK with me. Its a hobby for me, not any business.
I agree, interactions have been messy lately. I will remain little changed and consistent. I am not running a popularity contest, its a Forum where we can express our audio ideas.
I will not cow tow to the lowest common denominator. Thanks for your previous support in the past, it was helpful, appreciated.

Hi Jeff.
I'll continue to support you in the same manner I have in the past. It doesn't matter whether I agree. I was thinking of good marketing practices where you don't make the potential buyer feel like a moron or a rube.
I'm not sure which KC you're from but I do know from my limited experience that the folks don't approach things in the same manner. The east version seems more receptive to vague and undefined concepts.
I hope your quest to convert the unwashed in low ohms spirituality goes well.
Hi Kyle,
What am I marketing ?? NOTHING , NADA, ZERO. I am an audio amateur. An enthusiast, like many.
As far as KC is concerned, I have only lived here since 1984 when I bought my seat on the Kansas City Board of Trade. Prior to that, I grew up in New Jersey / Pennsylvania, and spent my after-college years as a stock broker in Beverly Hills, CA. Fun days, often wild.
By the way, Kansas City MAY have presently lay claim to the very best symphony hall in the world - so I have discovered in the past ten days, after attending a concert. Helzberg Hall. It seats 1,600 people, is OVAL shaped, has no prosenium arch, and uses WOOD heavily on the floors, walls. The oval hall is horn-loaded, several stories high from the rear, clamshell like.
Heard four soloists and a 250 piece choir and NOT A SINGLE MIC was used ...all natural, 1,600 in the audience. The Architect was Safdie Associates, Moshe Safdie, originally from Israel, now a CANADIAN, and there is a famous Japanese acoustical firm he worked with.
Experience gained by the Japanese doing L.A's Walt Disney Hall, were applied and IMPROVED upon in Kansas City with Safdie running the build. Its was a $419 million dollar project. Most striking to me, my mentor Mr. Fulton precisely described this hall to me in detail, thirty years ago, as he HATED most concert halls being built back then. Wish he was here to see and hear this masterpiece.

Jeff, relax. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean that everyone is out to get you.I didn't say you were marketing anything. I was just pointing out a marketing practice that if you want to get an idea across, you shouldn't make the person feel small or less than they should. You should acknowledge their ideas as good with room to expand.
This concept works much better with new converts than belittling ever does.
Got you. Makes sense, now to consciously apply !!!
Jeff Medwin
No, I'm serious, and we will leave everything at that.
