[Amps] Parasitics & Filament Sag

[Peter Voelpel]

Perhaps the reason is that manufactures of amateur amplifiers are almost
always hams and just duplicate amplifier layouts from the past.
Commercial amplifier manufactures used suppressors wound of resistance
alloy, at least in Germany.
Siemens and Hagenuk used Constantan (Cu55/Ni45) for that purpose .

That not one manufacturer of amateur amplifiers uses nichrome  
suppressors - even though the marginal cost is insignificant -
should be a very clear indication that the professionals 
consider your "science" to be without merit and your arguments 
to be completely lacking in integrity.
