Mentors? You speak for yourself!

Ray,
I was responding to a comment posted by Rage, who happens to be a builder of "modern" SE tube amps.
Since he built a Medwin SE DC 2A3 amp, I could logically assume that Tube Wrangler and Drlowmu are two of his mentors.
And I am sure that Rage would be proud to cite them as an influence.
Have a nice day,

The #1 influence. Great guys. Jeff helped me build one hell of a 2a3 amp for not a whole lot of money! It's the best amplifier I've built, no contest with anything else I've played around with.
He has been patient with my lack of knowledge and experience and always willing to help. Both guys are stand up good people.
There are other guys that have helped along the way... Kegger from AK has been a big help to me, SET12 from over there too... Douglas around here is probably getting tired of all of my inquires, but yet another great guy and great source of knowledge.
There are other guys around here on the more technical engineering side of things I consider to be a great resource too. They might not agree with Jeff/Dennis however I always try to carefully read what they put out there and consider it.
These guys might not all agree with each other however all of them have been indispensable to me. Lots of others around here like that too, I learn a lot on this site... and a good deal of it is from people that don't much care for subjective evaluations and marketing. ;)
I don't see either of these gentleman as a mentor in the full sense of the word.
I perceive Jeff as passionate, dedicated and very thorough but too lacking in technical knowledge and understanding to be a mentor. Jeff is generous, however, in sharing what knowledge he does possess in his desire to help others. I can well believe you have benefitted from his help.
Dennis, on the other hand, is boastful, invents his own arcane terminology as he goes along (e.g.transfer efficiency), talks in riddles and guards whatever knowledge he may have as if it were a state secret. I don't see that as particularly helpful and certainly not in any way acting as a mentor.
