[Amps] Why people don't build amps.

[donroden at hiwaay.net]

I think a 5000 would need a remote blower and lots of sound dampening  
measures to be a quiet desk-top amp.


Other than more complexity, why hasn't the practice of using switched  
band specific ( or range specific ) plate dc chokes been used to  
prevent nasty resonances ...... Especially post WARC ?
