Sheesh! This thread is turning into a tempest in a teapot.

Possibly the wording of a response or two could have been interpreted as 
being a little rude...or possibly not. However, the *facts* remain:

By the questions asked by the OP, he is a beginner in electronics. This 
is OK -- we were all beginners at one time.

But, the absolute bottom line is that a beginner should NOT be working 
on an amplifier. A friend of mine from the university ham club had built 
several amplifiers (not a beginner) and yet was found dead on the floor, 
electrocuted by his latest creation.

Amplifiers are H-A-Z-A-R-D-O-U-S!!!! Not for beginners. Period!
