Musings on amp design... a thread split

Switching issues can be prevented in class A amps and in SE configuration they are simple to build. A closer look might reveal that THD as function of amplitude is exponential, more resembling a musical instrument than the "straight line / hockey stick" standard AB amp. The required (extra) power can be dealt with by more effective power supplies, like those this dissertation is about: http://utpedia.utp.edu.my/id/eprint/15554/
 
A thesis is a just a series of claims that need to be carefully considered and evaluated through peer review and then published if valid.
The presence of these claims before review somewhere on internet does not warrant their accuracy.
Patents are just claims too and you just need to pay to get them deposited. The associated proof of concept does not need to be checked nor evaluated.
Patents just protect your claims before someone else comes up with the same. They don't prove anything.
 
The world is full of charlatans claiming such stuff. So far, nothing has materialized.
Of course, those who peddle this invariably point to a global conspiracy by big oil/fill in your fav target, to keep them out of the game.
But there's so many people who refuse to think critically, they always find a following.
The classical one of course is an electric motor driving a generator, where the generated output power is larger than the power input to the motor.

All that stuff is controversial, only the experiments you can undertake yourself aren't. Which is what in my case, "DIY" is all about - not the rigid beliefs, even vented by "experts". History has plenty of such "experts" like those predicting death as result of traveling faster than `30 Km/h.

Writing about your personal beliefs is cheap and easy.
Show some real data instead.
Expert people here will be happy to review the results of your experiments.
Experiments can be falsified so only live performance with immediate verification could be accepted.
Names & qualifications of the experts? Review according to which standards? In case it has been missed,
