   David,   
      
   Judging from your posting history, I get the impression you   
   may be fairly new to audio Usenet.   
      
   Also, I don't seem to recall your taking part in discussion   
   on RAT (rec.audio.tubes) the first group to which Andre's   
   questionn was addressed.   
      
   If you had done so, you would know that Andre is one of   
   the most active and helpful people.   
      
   Some years ago, I asked a question about AC ripple in   
   tube/valve amp power supplies.  There were several   
   replies but I still could not fathom it out.  In those days, I   
   had a slow internet connection with a very small inbox.   
   Andre had made an Excel spreadsheet for PSU calculations,   
   which he copied to a diskette and sent to me by post.   
   He would take no recompense for his time, the disk or   
   the postage.   
      
      
   I can only speak as I find.
