Great products and well-learned lessons from the past
abound. It is all over the place-- all around you at
all times.
What your community lacks-- sorely-- is the will to BUY
the great products that come from good minds.
There is a distinct bias for el-cheapo things, and a bias
against paying the genius for his work-- also a bias against
incorporating new and novel information because it isn't conventional
thinking.
Many who have passed away had learned how to satisfy the problems in human nature--make a new amp every time a new interest in a certain tube appears. This endless experimenting makes for public popularity, and leaves behind "legendary" product examples for all to adore.
This approach, while popular, never addresses getting ONE of
them PERFECT. Why not just build ONE that is PERFECTED?
We don't live in that world. We want something new every day, and we get it.
It is, however, possible to enjoy music on a different, far higher level.
Get EACH component in a system perfected-- right the first time-- and
perfect it, instead of endlessly changing the products to suit the
latest tube that is in vogue, etc.
People do both. A better world, however, at least musically, does exist.
(1) Figure out what the ultimate is.
(2) Build and perfect THAT.

Please, some respect for Don here. Can we bring this back on topic and create a separate thread to discuss this and related issues?

I agree, this is memorial thread about a gentleman passing away.
I'm sorry. I was thinking about a positive, lasting way to remember someone like Don. I got carried away.
RIP Don. The community misses you.

"... only a very few individuals understand as yet that personal salvation is a contradiction in terms."
Not really - you were well-intentioned. We got excited with the idea...
I just wanted to pull it up before it became a debate about design approaches.
Cheers,

I know that this is maybe off-topic, but I ran into this from
CNN Entertainment. As long as we're honoring those who have made our lives better:
Adam West (from the Batman and Robin T.V. series) has passed away
Friday night, June 9.
In order to keep as brief as practical, I'll only paraphrase a few lines here:
Adam West: "I got to laugh.... How lucky can a person get to
be a part of something that is a classic?"
He'd been hoping for a career in a more serious role but the pilot script
to "Batman" changed his mind....
"I knew after 20 pages it was the kind of thing I wanted to do."
"I will forever miss him (Burt Ward who played Robin) There are several fine actors who have portrayed Batman in films. In my eyes there was only one real Batman that is and always will be Adam West. He was truly the Bright Knight".
Adam West and Burt Ward are two of my heroes. Adam is gone. Rest?
No, Adam! In Peace? How silly! Know that you are loved and appreciated...

I hope you aren't inferring this about Don. He never stood still.
