I’d say if your desire is learning, there are better resources. Mr. Carlson’s Lab on YouTube. Diyaudio.com. Passdiy.com. The Burning Amp lectures. Just to name a few. Reading people discussing the finer points of gain device characteristics is a much more fascinating endeavor than reading amatures rattling on about exotic fuses.

>>>>It appears there are a great many folks who are extremely “circuit-focused” and who refuse to even consider there’s anything else to this hobby other than measurements and circuits of gain devices. That group, as manifested over on DIYAudio (and elsewhere), comprises some of THE most closed-minded and dismissive people I’ve ever seen. Any topic or concept that’s more than 1 Sigma away from the group and the moderator there is quickly attacked and deep six’d. The Blowtorch thread over on DIYAudio, where John Curl holds forth (at least John himself is not nearly so hyper focused) is up to what, 3 million posts? Including his disciples, the ones with glistening eyes. 😳 That’s 3 Million posts, people, not views. Can you say Hyper focused? He-loo!

Knowledge can be defined as what’s left after you subtract everything you forgot from school. The education system has been broken for like forever anyway,

have a nice day 😃

I agree that DIY is more focused on the technical aspect. Audiogon is more focused on the sound quality.  With that said, I also believe that DIY has posted some killer amp designs that sound fabulous.  
DIY audio has helped me graduate to just above a "Village Idiot" in amp design... I have now built my own amps and modified a few. There are folks that are willing to help here on Agon, but in DIY, these are more the daily topics of discussion.

Yep... Those pesky measurements! And the guys who invent the stuff this hobby is made of. Shame on them for actually achieving results! Quite unlike you and your magic rocks and silly spots. 

I figured that would get a hair trigger personal attack from costco_emoji. Ouch! Very ouch!

I see it as they're just focused on achieving results. You see different sorts gathering around different things for different results. I've been looking over line stage stuff a little because that's my next project, but I've enjoyed the F7 thread and the speculation going on over there. I don't understand why some people are allergic to numbers and measurements. You can't construct much of anything without taking some measurements somewhere. This allergy to measurements is about as anti-intellectual and counterproductive as you can get.
