RE: Let's remember the purpose of class A

Morricab The earliest transistors from the late fifties were in three groups,
Red spot for AUDIO,Green spot etc for RF, and Yellow spot also for RF for the intermediate filter stage in radios all germanium then, and today Companies like Profusion have a catalogue of Bipolar and Mosfets specially designed for Audio.People should check their references, which includes how transistors actually work , and that constantly repeating a statement without defining the limits simply confuses the situation. I think I have more than adequately answered the question of triodes and their distortion characteristics and the conditions under which it is evident, and why it is evident. I have also emphasized that transistors are as different to valves as Blancmonge is to cheesecake, but that transistors can be configured in so many ways that valves cannot and thus in the area of distortion or linearity makes arguments moot since the Transistor circuit beats the valve hands down and that is a fact. Any transistor can be used as an amplifying device, the term "Switch" simply means that the transistor has been designed for a very low input capacitance and thus it is capable of working well at much higher frequencies without transit delays, but will work perfectly well at audio frequencies... this comes from my friend Humble
