Like Bill I have been in the game in excess of 45 years, I am not exactly
ignorant of high power tubes and amplifiers, and haven't heard this stuff
until recently. Being on a list that is supposed to be for discussing
amplifiers it would be nice to know what is being talked about without
having to dig out the encryption book to read an email. Volts, amps,
impedance and other standard terms fit right in.
Not to take anyone's fun away, but then Ebonics as an official language in
schools didn't make it either.
Geeeze, now I wish I hadn't said anything in the first place.
