Mr. Ludwig, it is clear that you're not in the least bit interested in
dealing with the content of the article. You never read the article,
that's apparent, and you're making a load of baseless assumptions
completely irrelevant rantings.
We obviously are not communicating too well.
You have made your own self contradictions quite clear. The
issue is not one of communications, but expertise, or the
obvious lack thereof.
Frankly my entire thesis is simpler than all this: some people like to
build tube amps!
No, you stated the following, quite clearly and unambiguously:
"Subjectively tube amps of a given specification often
(not always) sound better than solid state amps of
better spec. Russ Hamm proved it in 1973 with his
paper which appeared in JAES and it has not been
contradicted."
Nothing in your statement intimates anythong about building
tube amps. Nothing. That thesis, as you stated it above, has
been shown to be incorrect. And if you did read the original
Hamm article, clearly the major point he made failed to stick,
because it was all about the performance of the amplifier
under conditions of severe clipping.
