First of all I feel I have contributed almost as much as I have "taken" in that I always report the results of my efforts (good or bad) so that others may learn from it.

Second, I have never felt that I am "entitled" to anything. I appreciate all the help I get, but if someone doesn't want to spend the time helping me they can go on to the next post. Doesn't hurt my feelings at all.

Third, from what I have seen, I am a long ways from being alone in inaccurate descriptions or vague questions. When a person is asking for help that happens quite often. Otherwise they probably would not be asking for help.

Fourth, the only people I snap at are those that take on a high and mighty air of how knowledgble they are and how dumb everyone else is. That is definetly not in the spirit of this forum.

I don't agree... and noticed you conveniently avoided the main point. No bother, we're human so that should be expected.

  I did not avoid it, it was just too obvious to answer. Of course more knowledge helps everyone. The point you have missed is that I would rather learn by doing when I can, not spend my time with my nose buried in a text book.

    Evidence shows you have been on this forum since at least 2008. It's hard to believe in all that time you never learned how to triode strap a pentode. That has been illustrated at length here and on many other tube audio forums.
    Now you were told how about two weeks ago in an SET. But you are asking the same basic question for a UL design. It's the same theory and principle.
    This is very basic stuff you need to know in order to build tube amps especially if you are going to modify the design which you do quite often. You claim to be just following schematics but in reality you are re-engineering many of these designs. Converting a UL topology to triode or using radically different tubes is re-engineering. And to do that you have to know how the circuits work.

      If you don't want to answer my questions, don't. I can do without your snide comments thank you.
