phlegmmusiclover really wants to be a Gort. Most of his poating these days is linking to another thread right before one is locked or deleted. I thought most of his threads were about horrible female singers’ new releases.

I thought most of his threads were about horrible female singers’ new releases. I think he generally tries to beat everyone to the punch in announcing new releases. What’s interesting is that he never seems to actually comment on things like the pressings of the vinyl versions or sound quality or in fact, much at all, which makes me wonder whether he actually buys any records or just puts up the facade that he does.

I have no sympathy for dipshit threads like his. Shit title without even listing the artist name, plus there's already a fucking 70 page thread about this release. It's funny in a sort of "look at this fucking idiot" sort of way. I really hate this "I have to have MY own thread" mentality instead of just adding to existing threads. You’re right, that guy is a “resident” so would have easily been able to find (and realise) there was already a thread for a Bruce Springsteen album. Fuck that twat.

I love this one. This guy prefaces his thread on building an amp from scratch with this, "I am not an expert of any description" then posts this soon after: IDLE CURRENT, AT LASTUsing the following formula from the Aikido instructions, I 'reverse engineered' what idle current the recommended resistor values in the manual would produce. Iq = B+/2(rp+[mu+1]Rk) or translated: Idle Current = B+ Voltage/2x(Plate Resistance+[mu+1]xCathode Resistor) Ouch, right? Working with this formula was initially hampered by the example equation in the instruction manual looking to be, well, wrong. The sum just doesn't seem to work. Also, in this equation B+ is assumed to be the full 180V, but I was more interested in working with the 90V half value, so the formula was rewritten as: Iq = B+/(rp+[mu+1]Rk) Anyway, if my sums were correct, at the input position the 6DJ8 example was set to draw around 4mA current, and the 6CG7 example 6mA. The output 6DJ8 tubes were set at 8-9mA depending on B+. Since I wanted the option to swap out the first stage 6DJ8s with 6CG7s the idle current in the first position would have to accommodate both somewhat; maybe higher than necessary for the 6DJ8, or lower than warranted for a 6CG7. Deciding on 6mA input and 9mA output for my build meant 15mA per channel, 30mA total. Using the aforementioned valvewizard PDF and a E88CC (6922) datasheet I was able plot the values for mu (roughly defined as gain) and plate resistance against these bias points. Now to confirm the cathode resistor values for both 6DJ8 & 6CG7 input tubes, plus the 6DJ8 output tubes. Another formula - a rearrangement of the previous idle current equation (with B+ again being 90V): Rk = ([B+/Iq]-rp)/(mu+1) The cathode resistor values: 330 ohm and 200 ohm. Going back to the idle current formula showed the 330 ohm value of the input tubes resistor should also allow a 6CG7 to operate at just below 5mA if swapped in, which isn't too bad at all provided it works out that way. With all that in mind, the R12 resistor value needed to drop 210V to 180V could now be worked out with this formula: R=V/I, or: Resistance equals Voltage divided by Current. Ohm’s Law; The first time I had ever used it. 30V / 0.015A = 2000 Ohm, so a 2K resistor was required. Pretty much gave that away in the last post.

Son of Ziggy is a serious bluesman, he just had never heard a black artist in his life. Here's his post from the inane "Top 10 Anything" thread: "The Blues
Tombstone Blues - Bob Dylan Rock The Blues Away - AC/DC Maybe Thats Why They Call It The Blues - Elton John Yer Blues- The Dirty Mac Bell Bottom Blues- Derek & The Dominos Confessin The Blues- The Rolling Stones Roadhouse Blues - The Doors Still Got The Blues- Gary Moore Fergus Sings The Blues- Deacon Blue Birth Of The Blues - Frank Sinatra"

Sounds very legit. I assume all the high-end audio equipment is there to drown out the sounds of ongoing human trafficking?

He doesn’t have a knob on the outside of the door, wtf?? So guests can only come and go at times and frequencies he permits? I’m picturing a run down version of the motel in Bad Times at the El Royale.

I'd rather stay at MYKE's, even if I have to learn what "digital downstairs" means.

Why does SandInAss feel compelled to write a fucking novella every time he poats? I can never read more than the first sentence of his boring, long-winded drivel.
