In Reply to: RE: Dennis, you never answered the question. posted by rage on July 06, 2017 at 06:04:21
In a thread where Dennis and I were talking about a theoretical SE output stage where the output tube was biased at 60ma of idle current and the input signal was limited to only drive the output tube's current to 120ma. max, Dennis stated that within that 120ma. "envelop" there are "Hundreds of amps of current". ???!!!???
This is only one example of Dennis saying crazy things that lead me to believe that he is not a BS artist per se but is ignorant WRT electronics and may indeed believe all the crazy things he types.
But if Dennis is going to present himself as an expert (and I believe he does) and then say crazy, unsubstantiated things (like the one at hand "some artifacts of music are also found in the Common Mode") he needs to expect to be called on it.
If that is disrespectful on my part then so be it.

Hey Tre you know Dennis talks in his own language which is foreign to most of us but he has been doing this for decades. You are much more informed than most of the number guys that are on the forum these days. That being said you might have to defend the SET crowd. If I remember correctly you run set with transistor sub.
All the guys that built cool stuff are not around anymore. Hell even the late grizmo would listen question listen again and scream tone is every thing. Now we have people who want to debate the same tired nonsense. At least Henry (when he was around) was good debater.
The one thing I find interesting is the numbers guys come on a DIY TUBE forum and want to tell me my musical background and abilities are all in my head and really I am tone deaf. I should just go to best buy and spend 600.00. Is there koolaide any better than Dennis's???
For the record 6sl7 belong in a phono stage and I do not even use them there. Well your thread turned into a SET is cult that PT Barnum would love to sell to. Well guess I will fire up my limited bandwidth amps with the crap distortion vinyl front end and pretend it sounds better than the state of the art 599.99 best buy wonder.
Enjoy the ride

That's a good idea. I think I'll do the same.
Listening to a clean Mo-Fi copy of Little Feet "Waiting for Columbus" I picked up today at the thrift for $2

Actually Tre' you've always provided a good technical explanation and I've not seen a lot of bashing from you.
I think the way you handle it typically is a good example. I don't have a problem with you calling Dennis out on his poor choice of wording.
The problem is the "pile on" and then it turns into how is amp is a poorly designed piece of shit. :)
