Steven Mark´s associate Jack Durban comes forward with more info !

Hey i remember Steven saing:

I prefer using triodes because they generate less distortion.
Any deviation from the original signal or addition to , Harmonic and intermodulation is not good for stereo enjoyment, you know...
By the way, your Solid State amplifier generates so much noise that if you measure the mains wiring you can see noise from YOUR amplifier actually getting back through the transformer and into the mains input wiring!!!
NOW design and make a good tube amplifier and you will immediately find a dramatic difference in the B+ supply measurements and what you can see on the scope. No more spikes from the solid state rectifiers, almost no hash from the mains power coming in! REMEMBER, all of that noise and hash in your solid state amplifier is in the output signal !

Without the control unit constantly monitoring the frequencies of operation and making the necessary changes to keep the whole thing off exact conversion frequency, then the unit would very quickly destroy it's self.

So,how can they monitor the frequency's with noise and harmonics?

Who cares about the harmonics when the signal source becomes the feed and vice versa?

The control unit will care.

That is why i build that rectifier...It also has an filterd AC outlet.

Some people look, but never see.  Some people hear, but do not listen.
The interview was not a waste of time, but reading your post was.

No one ever mentioned Freddy Mercury.  You are having delusions because
you do not listen.

Earl

You are correct, Earl - nobody ever mentioned Freddy Mercury. It was a little poetic license used to highlight what I believe to be the absurdity of Durban's claims, rather than a delusion on my part. I'm sorry if that was not clear to you, Earl. The rest of my two 'Tyler Durdan' posts essentially consisted of things said in the original interview by Durban himself, so in that context are as useful or useless as what he said.

Durban's the guy who can't remember a patent number he mentioned recently,
I have no problem with that, I can't remember patent nr.s either.
can't remember component values from video he has,
I doubt very much that the component value of the yellow caps can be seen in any video.
but doesn't want to undergo hypnosis because he has a photographic memory so knows it wouldn't add anything.
The question about hypnosis fell down out of the blue and since hypnosis is an extremely large violation of one's private sphere, I am not surprised that he responded with a diplomatic excuse instead of saying Hell NO.  My response to this question would have been much more direct and blunt.

He's the guy who claims SM had no real technical knowledge, whilst later admitting he may have been a TV repair man.
Is pulling tubes out of a TV, looking at a chart to see that the tube should be plugged into tube tester socket nr. 15, and replacing a tube that is in the red zone on the meter considered to be real technical knowledge?  No one has claimed that SM was the star of the TV shop, able to locate a leaky capacitor in 30 seconds, and an intermittent resistor in 46 seconds.

Still, you've got to respect what Durban's saying, after all, he did invent the first frisbee with an LED in it and the most highly advanced shopping cart to grace the face of the earth.

Well, if Jack has paid off his R&D on the shopping cart wheels, imports containers of them from China, pays $2 each and sells for $9.95, then why not respect him?  Maybe he has spent many all-nighters in front of a scope until the invention was finished, functioning, and with-in FCC specs?  Maybe he makes more dough in one month than many earn in 10 years?

Personally, I think your negative attitude doesn't permit you to see that the interview was a goldmine of valuable information.  My understanding of the TPU has vastly increased, but then I am the type of person who pays attention to whether the dot above the i is round, square, or hexagonal.

@Earl

First thing, when you post something, could you please not remove the Re: in the subject field as this creates confusion on the main posts list.No Re indicates the "start" of a new thread. I don't know why you do this.
Because I detest RE:

OK, if you look carefully at the center two toroids (chokes) you will notice the windings are using finer wire and also much more windings then you would see in a standard choke that has heavy gauge wire and much less windings. I have tried to see on the market about this with no luck.

There are unending different types of common-mode chokes.  The finer the wire the less current and more inductance.  Core permeability also plays a role. SM would have looked at a manufacturer's table of chokes, picked one with sufficient current rating and end of story.

I will be so happy and grateful to see Jack's high-resolution video.

He said that Steven was tight lipped about the design.  Jack claims to have been hired to find an alternative design.  He claims that Lindsay came into the picture at a later time.  And given everything else that was said about SM, one might think that the clues given to Lindsay were of an alternative design and/or meant to misdirect. 

Yep, a nice clean video would sure come in handy about now.  Y'all better behave yourselves.

Is anybody in private email contact with Jack?
I invited him via email to come over here but so far he has not answered yet and has not come over here.
Marco was in email contact with him before the interview, but after the interview no more emails anymore from Jack. Is he still too busy with his other projects ?
