    Extraordinary. Gee that's my feeling exactly !

    Not so fast. I'm only back for this one thread because I don't want to see somebody get away with something of questionable merit unchallenged.

    I belive in torturing captives. Captive terrorists, captive amplifiers. Make it cry. Make it howl in pain. Push it to the limit and then some. Break it if you have to. They do it with cars. Why not with amplifiers? They do it to engineers (I know first hand, my friends and I have been there.) So far at least one has escaped. The AES will put him on the bench and see if he has the stuffing to stand up to the ultimate challenge. Maybe that's why he had his ominous premonition. :-) John Escalier would be miserable without Jon Risch. Who would he argue with so vehemently? Who else cares that much about this crap?
