Sorry TK, but I just can't agree with that at all. Anyone truly into audio experimenting is not going to be upset by someone else doing a riff on their design as long as they are not trying to steal it or profit from it. I am not doing either one, I'm just trying to give the man the credit he is due for the concept.To quote from the "direct heating" website"
Sakuma says "I opened the reference books every day. And then, that old interstage transformer asked me:
'Sakuma, who do you build this amplifier for?
Do you make the amplifier to get praise from electronics teachers?'
Since that day, I have made amplifiers for my own pleasure as an amateur".Sounds good to me.

"...as long as they are not trying to steal it or profit from it."
The individual who first posted the schematic with the "Sakuma" label next to it did exactly that - he stole the Sakuma name by pasting it on something that doesn't meet the fundamental requirements. You're now doing the same thing by attributing the design to Sakuma's concepts, and you're excusing this practice by pretending to know his mind. Really, the man's dead. Have some respect.

Really, lighten up TK. The amp is called Sakuma STYLE, not Sakuma amp. What part of that is getting past you? No one is claiming it is a Sakuma amp, just that it is following his concept of like tube driving like tube, as I have said 3 or 4 times now. Did you read the quote from the direct heating web site? No mind reading, just quotes.

"...following his concept of like tube driving like tube,"
That's only one of many concepts Sakuma explored and implemented in his designs. Ironically, the "Sakuma Style" amplifier schematic you posted doesn't even do that . One tube in pentode, the other in triode is not the concept of interest. This is simply a case of a hanger-on attempting to affiliate sketchy and unrelated work with that of a master. As for what you're doing, it might be accurate to say you're experimenting with one of Sakuma's concepts, but even that's questionable. Unless you're planning to replace the 6BQ5s with DHTs, it's overtly dishonest to refer to the work you're proposing as having any relation to that of Susumu Sakuma. Argue all you want, but that's the long and short of it.

must be nice to run through things so black and white. Further, if your assessment is anything resembling reality, his memory does not need any attention at all.

Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world...but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.
The long and short of it is we have different opinions on this and neither of us is going to get the other to change their mind. Find something else to grouse about TK.

No it is not, it is giving credit where it is due.
