Merlin,

as the person who read my site you might know that one of the few dominating idea of my site and my personal audio interest is the recognition of the following rule as an absolutely desirable aim:

When you introduced in the previous thread Berning amplifiers you said that amplifiers that were based upon Dave Berning topology did for your something that other did not. You said:

“I have heard plenty of traditional SET's from Lamm to Wavac, AN, Kondo and many others. I know I could not live with their failings.”

In response to which I asked you:

Merlin, in the context of this thread, might I ask you something... When you heard Lamm SET (presumable it was 2.0) then what speakers it drove and what specific problems you found that made you to feel that you can’t live with that sound? I think it would give me some impression what you are talking about and would set certain equalization point for comparing notes…

You decided do not reply, which is fine but be advised that without knowing your specific dissatisfactions with Lamm, Wavac and Condo is it difficult to view your comments from a rational perspective (since you are the only one who heard the Berning amps). I very much do not knock Berning amp with this post I just would like to separate the people who use good tools for own reasons from mumbling of Audio Groupies:

I and I’m sure others will/did read of what David Berning proposes (it is the whole idea). However, would propose do not refer to the Dr. Gizmo’s or others people thoughts  as some kind “credentials gaining”. I was contacted this morning by the specialist much higher caliber then Dr. Gizmo’s was and they have informed me that the David Berning’s idea “seems to be a little idiotic”. You do not see me bringing it as an argument, do you?

In a contrary, YOUR criticism of Lamm, Wavac or Condo SETs (which I and others know) would be much more indicative about your objective and your “operational points”
