Oh well, what do I know? (Richard Heyser as well) '-)
It does not matter. What matters, Morgan Jones wrote excellent books. His elegant explanations mean that he knows well what he is writing about.
Or perhaps the distortion is low enough that it doesn't matter? And maybe Gedlee knows what they're doing?
I doubt it, the distortion of these amps was pretty high.
Well, Gedlee talked about the masking of distortion that Jan mentioned. Some sounds are more easily masked than others though. Masking only reduces the strength with which we respond to a sound. It doesn't make it inaudible.
Some sounds are very offensive to the ear even at low levels, cause we have a natural aversion to the sound. They are harder to mask.
Gee, I should listen to Morgan Jones? What did he do for audio?
Deigned excellent stuff. Taught many people. More will be taught reading his books. Is not it enough?

there is also the late prof. W.M. Leach....he is also a teacher....he gave the world the super leach amps built by countless diy'ers all over the world......isn't that something?

On what basis would you claim his designs are excellent stuff or not? Compared to what? What is the layout? How much channel separation in his prototypes? Anyone can teach, look at the other forums.
Would you post one of his schematics?
Cheers.

Why don't you post one of his schematics?
Cheers.
buy his book and see for yourself....

On basis of my own rich experience. Compared to lots of stuff that I saw in my life.

He is quite different from anyone.
Would you post one of his schematics?
No.

That is not evidence, and why should I purchase when the RCA Radiotron Designers Handbook is supreme. Post a schematic if you are so confident.
Cheers.

That varies wildly. Subjective assessment.

Transit time of typical amps is between 10-20us or more.
Cheers.
That would suggest oscillation at 50 KHz to 100 KHz and pretty strong oscillation. Most of the amplifiers I have built have flat response to more like 500 KHz. With such a slow transit time I could never use feedback. Did you mean 10-20 nS?

RCA Radiotron Designers Handbook is good, but not supreme. Today it is obsolete. However, for those who want to stay on 80 years ago level of development, it may be supreme.
All Subjective.
If opinions of experts for you are as subjective as opinions of novices, what are we talking about?
Have a nice day! 😉

you need to see all sides to make an intelligent assesment...😀

Nope, and vast majority of amps are not close to 500khz bandwidth.
And 10-20us transit time is not an oscillation. It is the time it takes for the musical signal to "travel" from input to output. It has nothing to do with oscillations.
Cheers.

Really, osbolete? Tell us how besides no SS and no digital. Please be specific.

Who says you, or they are experts? Anyone can publish a book.
Cheers.

Ah, no. One needs to understand designing and see how others depart.
Cheers.

Like it has nothing to do with phase intermodulation.

hhhhmmmmm....have you published anything about designing in the likes of Cordell, Jung, Pease et al......? i am eager to see it.....😀 i am a novice eager to learn....
