Yeah, all OK here. I haven't been over on uk.rec.audio for a while, which
is why I guess I haven't caught up with you lately. I'll try and find the

with all the flame wars and pointless rants about £1000 cables and so on

I'm afraid you'll find it's deteriorated even more. There are
fewer serious contributors now, I think, and it's half been
taken over by a load of nutters from aus.hi-fi, for reasons
unclear to me. These are grown men in their fifties and sixties
waging never-ending hate campaigns against each other with a
level of puerility and malice that exceeds even what you used to
find a few years ago - which was already pretty high.

Phil Allison occasionally posts some good flames to ukra; personally
I find them hilarious, but most don't share that opinion.

I can't remember the last time I bothered posting there.

OK, maybe I won't bother then. It's a shame though, coz there were some good
people on there, and I used to enjoy the discussions even when they reached
the 'heated exchange' level, but I couldn't be doing with the endless
descent of threads into moronic profanity-slinging and violence-promising
matches. I also never really understood Phil. He is clearly a clever bloke
in the field during his lucid times. I have seen very valid replies to
posters' questions, with a level of technical content which demonstrates
this fact. It can go on for several replies over a week or so, and then
suddenly, something often undetectable sets light to him, and it's as though
he is a completely different person. It's very strange ... Still, takes all
sorts, I guess. So what are you up to for a job now ? What was winding you
up about Monday ?

Probably an alcoholic. I've dealt with a few of those in other groups I'm
in. From time to time they'll be valuable contributors, but then they'll go
off on some drunken rant that leaves everyone wondering what's going on.

I was just very tired and queasy from having too much to drink
on Sunday, which was a bit of a crisis day, but it's all sorted now.

As for my job - well, boring. Pure computer programming, and not
in a scientific/(non-software)-engineering field. I was brought up
and educated as a scientist/engineer, so I find it deeply unfulfilling to
be writing business software. You can imagine. Let's just leave it there;
I find it depressing to think and talk about.

Fair enough. At least Monday was bad for a good and valid reason ! OK on the
job. Yes, I thought that you had a scientific background. Still, needs be as
needs must, as they say. Good to hear from you again, and nice to have
another engineering mind hanging around the group. Jump in with some
opinions sometimes - it would be good to hear another voice. I always used
to enjoy your posts over on ukra

With respect, search down and find a good, properly maintained Dynaco
ST-416. All that you describe in addition to brute-force capacity. You
can set your limiting factors from a (relatively) few watts of
headroom to no limits at all. Stable to 2 ohms nominal impedance -
meaning that it will sustain dead-shorts without internal damage. And
the 200wpc/rms @ 8 ohms is nothing to sneeze at.

Well this is certainly going off topic there, but the people I've known who
are into that stuff are pretty harmless, they just get quiet and fall
asleep, about the worst damage I've seen is all the Cheetos are gone in the

That's what I used to think too, but apparently, the stuff that's sold now
is an altogether different variety that has real and measurable
brain-rotting characteristics, and does finish up putting many of its users
in the local mental institution. Perhaps it just enhances an existing
predisposition to suffering mental health problems. It's just what I'm
reading week after week in my sunday papers, and the sudden irrational and
violent-sounding behaviour of these people seemed to fit ...

OK, I guess it is too advanced for yall.

Incidentally, when the people show up with spam, how come there are no
responses. I could be accused of being off topic, and this death
threat thing I just don't get. All the people who want to bitch about
me, and basically call me a bitch, well they hide under the same
anonymity I do. And for street smarts, I am not even going into it.
Want my name and address ?

I thought we could have an intelligent discussion about amplifier
power and a few other things relating to getting the maximum
performance without having anything fail. Perhaps some people do not
see the logic in starting such a discussion in a newsgroup where
people generally deal with failures of electronic equipment all the
time.

I see one person wanted to discuss the subject. But first the death
threat. I stated that if someone wanted to kill me I have people to
help me get rid of the body. That is a threat to defend myself. If you
take it another way you must be some kind of defective. Call me from
the airport or bus terminal in Cleveland and we will surely discuss
this "death threat".

Of all this bull**** bitching about me, nobody seems to do anything
about the spammers. But I am all they can get to. And nobody here can
hurt my feeling I assure you ALL. You might annot me with your
bull****, but that is a part of life. You can't hurt me from here. You
can't hurt me from here either. Get the point ? My ego is not false.

Now I would like to make a request. I request that any mother****er
who cannot design or build an amplifier get the **** out. You SAW the
****ING SUBJECT OF THE POST. If you do not like this thread get the
**** out. That is it. I have every right to be here. I have every
right to make this thread, and nobody is going to stop me.

Now there was one poster who seemed to be interested in the subject.

Now the others will see. You want to see a jerk, a bozo ?

Bye thread.

Street smarts ? Well, I am 47, and if I got busted for any of about
three things I did when I was twenty I still would not be out of
prison. I was ****ing born on the streets, go ahead and say it shows.
C'mon over pussy, let's have a look at your busted cheekbone.

You ****ing tell me ? Oh man that is soooooo stoooopud. I have a
veritable army more willing to die for me than the army soldiers are
for Bush. The cops REFUSE to take me to jail. I don't got street
smarts ? I'll tell you what else, although I would never do it I got a
guy down in Kentucky, a hacker, oops Hacker, who can find out who yall
are. He knows that **** and makes about eighty grand a year. That is
one of my "people". Talk death threats ? Remember I said I would never
do it.

I will not go home, I will not cry. People ****ing with me are very
very stooooooooooopid. I know what I am doing and I know alot of other
people who know what they are doing. **** wuith me, come on, do it !

I don't **** with people and I didn't. I asked some questions about an
audio amp design. Geezus ****ing christ. I wanted some input from
people who may have had to deal with blown speakers and amps, why the
**** is that more off topic then CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP ?
People who do not like this thread, why don't youi go pick on that
MF ?

I am a 47 year old Man with a gun, and the knowledge to use it. I also
studied varied martial arts for about ten years. I will give you my
home address, at which time you will have the chance to do something
really stupid. I don't take **** from anyone, that's what my Father
taught me. It backfired on him, because at times I wouldn't take his
****.

Now does any one want to ****ing talk about amplifier design ? I am
sick of this back and forth **** about whether or not this post
belongs here and the back and forth of it. Shut the **** up.

I have every right to be here, and **** you if you disagree. It really
is that simple. What about my amp ? I have not heard one single thing
that would be helpful from this group, just a bunch of whiney bitches
complaining about what belongs where. They have no idea, I am an SER
denzin. Ask Sam.

Your bickering will stop or I will crash this website. You don't think
I can do it, well let me enlighten your tight little asses.

If I boot from the Linux CD, there is a parameter I can set, that
makes the OS hit a website continuously. Windows and other OSes do
that as well because you just don't hit every time on the web. Most of
the time it is set to 5. But if I set it to 500 I can crash any
website I click on, I can even set it to 5000 and clog up more ****.

So I need to go home crying when nobody can discuss the complex
subjects I bring up ? THINK AGAIN. I can make this place gone.

So let's start over, Hello, I am JURB and I would like to build an amp
that does not destroy speakers. Would anyone like to share their
comments or ideas ?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Anything else is another matter. You
are not playing with ****ing kids here, I can guarantee that.

Thank you.

I designed my own amp a few months back.

One important design stage was the output protection.
I added a microcontroller circuit that looked at the output signal and
switched off a relay if a fault condition was found.

When my set up uses £200 worth of speakers then it is important to
protect them.
