Dusty Chalk Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 ...why are we telling each other to fuck off again? I know I would hate it if Kevin claimed "massive bullshit" if I was just trying to offer some helpful safety advice -- it had nothing to do with Singlepower, Hirsch was speaking about tube amps in general. I'd tell him to fuck off, too. He's a man, he can take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hirsch Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 why are we telling each other to fuck off again? Ask yourself why Kevin would call a basic safety post "massive bullshit". He's clearly been waiting for me to post just so he could use that phrase, but pulled the trigger on a post that had absolutely nothing controversial in it. Trigger finger was too quick, I suspect. I've very carefully steered clear of this thread up to this point, and he's clearly been waiting for a post from me that he could attack. Why would he be doing that? Think on it for a bit. There's certainly some massive bullshit in this thread. It just isn't what you think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted July 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Why would he be doing that? Think on it for a bit.I think it's pretty clear from my reply what I think of the whole situation and that no further thought on the matter is required. There's certainly some massive bullshit in this thread. It just isn't what you think it is. Enlighten me, please, unless you're referring to Kevin's posts in which case don't bother. But if you feels there's misinformation or something that could be clarified or corrected otherwise I'm all ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob N Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I also wont get so far out on something that has not been built before. I will let someone else put the R&D time in besides me. That'll be me then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarium Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 I have on good and reliable authority that Mikhail will become humanity's savior in the not too distant future. And that Kevin Gilmore is some sort of T-1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevin gilmore Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 Could we all calm down a bit here? Hirsch's advice (distilled): if you don't know what you're doing when it comes to high-voltage tube amps your safest option is to leave it alone and seek help. I see no bullshit there. . Same kind of stuff hirsch did over there where he told the guy who was fixing his es-1 not to mess with it and send it in for warranty repair. And we all know how long singlepower warranty repair takes. A number of people are going to be repairing their own units instead of sending them in. I see this as a win win situation.

Dusty Chalk Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Same kind of stuff hirsch did over there where he told the guy who was fixing his es-1 not to mess with it and send it in for warranty repair. And we all know how long singlepower warranty repair takes. A number of people are going to be repairing their own units instead of sending them in. I see this as a win win situation."Don't do it yourself" is not necessarily the same thing as "send it in". I don't know about Hirsch, but even I would suggest finding someone else if you don't know what you are doing. And by someone else, I mean someone other than Mikhail.

kevin gilmore Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 If you don't know what you are doing, then the only way to actually LEARN, is to try. It's not rocket science. I know a complete newbie that built a BH. And got it to work. A lot harder than fixing a simple broken resistor...

Elephas Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Damn, that sucks Elphas Something tells me SinglePower will be seeing litigation someday. The next person who calls me a constipated elf will definitely see some litigation, after I sit on him and release some pent up internal gases. Nah, just joking. But I do appreciate the sympathy, Master Aardvark. Elephas, You might seriously consider working with someone state side who could verify that the amps are working for you before having them shipped all the way to you. I'm hoping that the participants at the Colorado Head-Fi Meet can listen to and inspect the amps. Not necessarily on my behalf, just informally checking them over like any other amp present. I was considering flying over, but it might not be fair to the meet if I yell and argue with Mikhail for 6 hours and end up smashing a T61p over his head. It's heavy enough, man, my aching baby elephant back. If I need to visit Mikhail personally, I can do that another time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard (June NorCal meet) ASR (Steve) was planning on being at the Colorado meet. He seems like a helpful guy. Maybe he'd be willing to check the amp out for you.
