What a guy! Your a legend in your own mind. 35 yrs ago this stuff was everybodies headache filling up the garage while their shiny new Pioneer recievers they brought back from the far east while serving in Viet Nam stacked up in their living room blasting the neighbourhood with that SS screech. Perfect measurement though. Vanishingly low distortion. I swear thats what killed Hi-Fi in America; they just don't realise it.
When I was a kid every house on the block had a console tube stereo that may have been boomy and slow as a result of the crummy cabinets but still sounded like music. By 1973 everyone dumped them and jumped on the bandwagon. By 1977 nobody listened except teenagers.
On garbage night there would be several of those old consoles and the empty boxes from the Japanese light show models at the curb up and down the block.
