RE: What issue? nt

I found it.

"The serious side of Bert Doppenberg of BD Designs. I will admit that the first day of the show this room was not to my taste, but by Sunday he had it really hitting on all cylinders! The first day, Bert was using the Sophia integrated and well, it just didn't have the magic. Bert got the music off his laptop through a TwinDACPlus. Way cool!"

" On Sunday the little Serious Stereo 1-watt monoblock amplifiers from Dennis Fraker were in use ($11k the pair, and that is for the best 1-watt you will ever need, if you got the right speakers) and they sounded really, really good. Very musical!"

"The Serious Stereo 1-watt amplifier. Not much to look at, but a lot to listen to! These amplifiers were getting a lot of exposure throughout the show (Cain & Cain room among others) and had generated a bit of a stir. Very expensive, but what music."

Those quotes are from Dave Clark, nothing from Bert. Reviewers say a lot of things. It doesn't mean that much. Hey, it's a 2a3. I wouldn't expect it to sound bad up to it's power limit. But you make out like it's the best thing since sliced bread. With all the short comings in your design.....I'll take the sliced bread.

You and DT made this article sound like it was going to be the proof. It's not. Dave says a lot of good things about a lot of gear. It's his job. If Dave really loved your amps he would own a pair. I would bet he doesn't.

Years ago I designed and built an OTL amplifier. My friend Bill heard them. The next thing I knew he's in production (Naked Truth Audio Calla OTL). He got a few positive reviews. None of that meant much.

Dennis, you've got a big head. I guess that not all that bad. If you can't believe in yourself no one else will!

Carry on but don't talk smack. I'll call you on it every time.
