hey-Hey!!!,
Dan, I said nothing about capability one should infer from an individual having a degree. I can point to some *VERY* capable folks with degrees, just like I can point to a sack of nutz who also have them who are not very capable. Now would the first group have been able to do all the stuff they did w/o one? I'd bet against it, and heavily.
but...that is getting off track.
The question I've got in mind is can we discover the quantities that make an amp sound good? If we can, then they can be measured. Once measureable, the effects of component choice on them will make the amp design process rather simple( if indeed components can be characterized to the required degree ). Given this state of the art, do you think that some nutsy 4 gage, bypassed with a run of 35 gage would be required as the accepted grounding scheme?
Indeed, what I said is that the designer needs to apply Engineering principles in order to get a good amp. It may be that the 10k Monkeys&10k Typwriters syndrome may apply and take us off the curve a bit... but it won't be statistically important( unless this anomolous behaviour gets described, repeated, and taken up by a Religious Fanatic ). Even then, it'll dissappearinto the noise...:)
It seems like a popular sport to deride the accomplishments of degreed engineers. Seems always a few counter examples get presented. In any case, if one is out to judge a group by a few...the results will be quitepredictable.
cheers,
Douglas
Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world...but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.
