If it is a coalition, it is one of people that feel as expressed by Stinius. JC is a very accomplished audio designer. Your credentials, judged by your many posts here, cannot even stand in his shadow. That is not meant as a personal insult, I am stating how you are perceived.
I personally feel something I can best describe as 'shame by proxy' that John feels fit to support you; and he even doesn't really support you but whips you on for reasons only he knows.
If you would understand this kind of thing you would do what SY suggested, try to stand on your own feet instead of trying to stand on the shoulders of someone you can't even tie the shoelaces for.
There's nothing wrong with being less experienced than someone else; I meet people smarter than me all the time. But there's a lot wrong with trying to present yourself better than you are, even by trying to associate with a smart one, because those smart people look through you within 100 miliseconds.
I am not writing this trying to hurt you personally, I have no desire and nothing to win by that. I am just trying to open your mind to the possibility that this forum is not a collection of people out to kill each other but that there are many that genuinely try to help others, not just on audio. You can learn a LOT from those posts directed at you, if you would only read them openminded.
This is not a collection of people to 'attack JC and his ideas'. It is a collection of people trying to advance their knowledge of audio in general. If Mr. Curl, or whoever, says something that flies in the face of what is understood by others, or is in contrast with earlier statements, that is interrogated. That has nothing to do with respect. As syn08 noted, you can have a lot of respect for JC (I have) and still not agree to some of his opinions (I don't). That is the meaning of 'respect and the truth do not always overlap'.
If you accept everything someone says without critical comtemplation and without giving the person the benefit of your alternate views, you are in fact showing a lot of disrespect.
Now, I know, several here will call me stupid to write this, because there is a chance that you push all of this away and come back with a totally irrelevant post like 'show me your schematic of your regulator' or something like that. But I take that chance.
Best regards,
Jan Didden

When you'll come over here, or I'll come over there – I'll listen to it.
By your ideas about audio, I doubt that it will sound anything close to my expectations of SOTA audio.

Joshua, stop, you are killing me
A gyrator is a kind of capacitor multiplier.
Gyrator is more usefull in theoretical analysis than in praxis; for example to create electro-acoustic model of speaker.

It's eminently practical. Routinely used in equalizers and crossovers. From the article you referenced:
I used one in my electronic crossover (The Acheron). Worked just like the textbooks predicted.

Joshua, could you tell us the difference between the latest schematic you have posted here and Vendetta first stage low noise follower/ps. buffer, save larger C2 value? To be honest, Mr.Curl used different but similar J-fets as pass transistors since he did not wish to waste hard to find devices in less important position. All in all circuits are identical.
I have been using this circuit in my phono stage for almost three years. BJT version was tried using cheap low noise transistors Bc550/560c. There were no subjective difference between them.

They have been engineered to be undistinguishable in a blind test from each other and other similarly well engineered amplifiers.
Some of your posts reflect and express just the opposite.
I didn't say, didn't imply and I don't think I can stand in JC's shadow.
If anyone was impressed otherwise – it's but a wrong impression.
Perceived by your perception. Your wrong perception of me tells about yourself more then it tells about me.
Yet another example of your "respect" to JC.
You’d better look at your own integrity.
I'm neither an engineer nor a designer.
Also, I'm not ashamed to learn from anyone and everyone – in life as well as in electronics.
In those circuits, I'm after the best possible sound I can possibly get – I'm not after feeding my ego.
Do you get it?
What you take as "seeing me" is but a wrong impression of me.
I know what I do know and I know what I don't know. Hence, I know which advice to follow.
For instance, when I hear differences in sound between different cables and someone tries to prove "scientifically" that such differences are impossible – I know to trust my ears.
Another instance, when someone interprets my motives the opposite from they really are, I know I cannot follow his advice concerning my behavior.
This is what you actually do, every now and than.
By proving "scientifically" that differences in sound between different cables are impossible?
Come on – open you own eyes and mind.
One of the reasons for me being so enthralled by this thread is that so many things of what JC wrote are in accord with my own experience.
If you think you have good knowledge in audio, coming up with your own design will be the only proof to it.
alert.
Jan has published dozens of articles with his designs over the past 30 years in Audio Amateur, AudioXpress, and Elektor, and has JAES articles to his credit. His work in regulator circuits (on his own and in collaboration with Walt Jung) is standard reading for anyone involved in audio.
Please remove your foot from your mouth.
Thank you, Syn08. Much appreciated!

So? What is your point here?
Subjective differences differ from one person to another.
What are the differences in noise figures?
