"How can a watt be anymore powerful then it measures?"
How can a 1W SE 2A3 sound "subjectively" more powerful than a 400W solid state amplifier?
DF has be discussing this thing called "transfer efficiency" for years.

Oh my...
I can put a Watt into the air. There is no way one of these fantasy amps that puts 1 Watt into the voice coil terminals is going to deliver that.
I assume at some point you will discover you have been led around by the nose. Probably not today, or even tomorrow, but at some point you will.

Friend, I would not hurt thee for the world...but thou art standing where I am about to shoot.
Maybe its a watt at 20hz???
A watt at 1Khz most likely won't produce a watt at 20hz on a tube amp.

And you believe him?
That makes you look a little kooky.

I think you mean that DF made up that terminology years ago and hasn't stopped trying to get people to believe it.
In London on Tottenham Court Rd in The '70's as a teenager I would druel over the amaising statistics of the amplifiers. Took me many years to realise it was all lies! Some people havent learned that to this day.
And where have you been for the last 5 years Mr Barker? I recalled reading some of your posts from long ago and had to check your history.
The trials of life friend.
I must say its a filip to my state of mind to see so many of the old names still holding up the banner and giving great advise as they always did. Wont name them but really feels like home from home. I came in here because the majority people in UK I mix with in these matters are so far away from from my ways that have never changed from my beginnings that noone replies to my posts. There has been a massive dropoff in practical knowledge, or interest in the things still being discussed here. I even fear now for the forthcoming loss of value in vintage valves as the old guys drop off their purches, the youngsters are building class D amps, and our stocks of valves chokes and transformers will be loaded into skips after our funerals. But the main issue is nobody wants to bounce ideas together with me. It was like home from home just checking in here for ages.
Count one more person super-happy to see that name posting. May all the trials be in the rear-view mirror!
