Re: keep going...sooner or later, you'll get it.

well... either a whole bunch of folks like Norman Crowhurst, Frederick Termin, RCA engineers, Steve Bench, RDH contributors, John Broskie, etc, et al... all got this wrong...
Or you need to go back to and have an honest fresh look at their material and try to understand and master the methods which they have outlined and demonstrated.
I can't and won't do it for you.
I put up the information (and offered no opinions of my own) as references for people to explore and evaluate the articles on their own given the incessant harping and baiting that has accompanied the exploration of this technical issue by primarily one other person.
And I have no interest in arguing or debating these issues with you or anyone else... the sources speak for themselves and the trueness or falseness of their respective thesis is strictly independent of whether I am able to or care to defend (or oppose) the several theses that they have offered. I have adopted this position since this technical debate has been transformed by some into a lithmus test and\or a religious crusade and has been used as a battle axe.

However, I did find it interesting (notice... I did not say I agree or disagree) that the RCA engineers state explicitly that each triode in a pure class A PP amp sees one quarter of raa as it's reflected load impedance... and I stumbled across this when I was just killing some time waiting to pick up my girls from school and was reading the front of the RCA manual which I referenced.
Now... if they are wrong and *IF* I did agree with them or have a tendency to agree with their stated views... then, none-the-less, that would not be in keeping with bad company would it?
So... why the near religious dimension to this debate?
