24v on tubes? I know just enough to make that sound crazy. One of the things that has got me going on tubes is I bought a Fender blues Jr tube amp for my guitar and fell in love. I know I'll need efficient speakers for the low wattage stuff I'm looking at, and Waynes pi's fill the bill. After hearing how accurate and clean my DR250's (prosound tops) are, I'm convinced that horns are the way to go, after 25 yrs with my beloved EPI's. Plus Wayne's a really good guy, I met him at the prosound shootout in Tulsa this summer, and I intend to go to his GPAF in the spring to hear some of this gear. He also drives a sweet old cutlass. Old cars and audio seem to go toghether.

I think your long standing friendship with another is clouding your judgement and ability to moderate the forum impartially and fairly.

Otherwise, I believe that your moribund forum just barely goes along and along... as you allow one other person to dominate it. For the last few months... how many projects? One? Followed by incessant shilling which you allow for just that one project.

Steve Eddy and I in just one day got more qaulity posts going in amps and preamps forum here than you've been able to generate in a month on the group build forum if you discount the almost constant spam and shill posts which you allow. Look at the moribund results... that tells you exactly what kind of forum your qaulity of leadership has wrought.

So I won't argue the details... and your the boss... I'll just note the lack of enthusiasm, participation and producitivity of your moderated forum which pales by comparison to other alternative venues.

Damir... I think your judgement is out of skelter.

a butt stacked transformer is one in which all of the E's are put in from one direction and all of the I's from another direction and then "butted" up against one another...

a butt stacked transformer does in fact have an air gap... if you look in Reubin Lee's book (3rd ed) on page 126... you will see that in the example shown a butt stack has an equivalent reluctance of a 5 mils airgap...

a butt stacked core assembly is, in fact, the opposite of a gap-free assembly... and is used explicitly for the purpose of introducing a "gap" ( i.e., a path of high reluctance) in the magnetic circuit.

You don`t like "Group Build", don`t like Douglas and don`t like me. Fine, go right back where you came from, on your "better" forums and stop spamming and trolling "Group Build".
Your tactic is miserable and seen before, but this time you can`t force anyone to ban Douglas.
Your presence is not desirable on "Group Build" any more.
And, BTW - download yourself from "Tubes" forum my message "Introduction of PP Theory", you can learn a lot - last time when we saw clearly your behaviour, you claimed that output tube in A-class PP "see" Raa/4 impedance...what an expert...

the poster in question wrote in his post;

"Or I could just ask the manufacturer...but most don't even post Cw numbers."

to which I simply ask in the posting title only;

***What is the Cw of the HTS-7457?***

that... being the entire content of my post...

and it too gets yanked down...

but before yanking it down the mod allows multiple personal attacks by the original poster... and I even sent a private email to Damir complaining about the personal attacks. To no avail. Instead he yanks down my post which simply asks the designer of the HTS-7457 what the Cw of his trans is... since the original poster expects other companies to publish this data I thought it more than fair to ask him to post this figure for his design.

Your a bit off base here Damir. And your friendship with Doug has clouded your objectivity.

And now you want to ban me for typos? Jeez louise. How many others will get the axe for typographical errors?

This post clearly shows your capriciousness and your lack of objectivity.

"... but this time you can`t force anyone to ban Douglas."

I didn't get Doug banned from AA. Doug's posts got him banned. Over 250 posts that had been deleted and complaints from multiple persons to the board operator. His behaviour was described as stalking. And yes it did include a lot of MQ bashing. And yes I did complain about that.

Just as... on this forum and Group Build we had a long discussion about Doug's continuing use and abuse of our trademarks. After long discussions and us offering proof of our trademark interests and rights Wayne agreed that our letitimate interests would be honored. Yet you still allow Doug to use our trademarks freel and illictly. If I point out that he is misusing our trademark you pull down my post.

Your message above... now clearly shows that short of being an impartial and fair moderator... that you too harbor some grudges that apparently will not allow you to even honor the agreements that had been reached on this forum after long discussions.

"Your presence is not desirable on "Group Build" any more."

you claim that I am attacking Doug. I beg of you to put up (in complete context) proof of where I went on the attack against Doug.

And for quality of post and contributions... I would venture that I put up more substantive posts... well... why argue with anyone who shows the unfounded and unproven prejuidice you've displayed in yor text above.

::::And, BTW - download yourself from "Tubes" forum my message "Introduction of PP Theory", you can learn a lot - last time when we saw clearly your behaviour, you claimed that output tube in A-class PP "see" Raa/4 impedance...what an expert... ::::

What an absolute laugher. so you still have hurt feelings over the notion of primary impedances? And you've harbored these ill feelings for how long?

And if your findings are disputed by a host of other sources inclusding the RCA tube manual... then we should all bow to Sir Damir?

What's most telling is... when their is a technical dispute that is unresolvable... instead of everyone just agreeing to not agree on the technical matter at hand and recognizing that there are differing points or views or opinions... apparently... it's become a religious creed to you or some lithmus test.

Heck... we can even argue politics and social issues on the Dungeon and still not turn it into a personal vendetta or crusade against one another. Why can't you do the same on a technical disagreement?

Instead... talk about trolling and flaming... what does this historical (occurred many months ago in a different forum) issue of primary impedances have to do with anything going on in the ART forums at the present time? It's clearly extraneous... but shows your cavalier attitude toward moderating with an even and fair hand. And that you have some personal bias' which your now using your moderating authority to take out on your target.

I can see all that... good luck with your Dougie and Damir Group Build forum.
