   Hell, Patrick, what Jac said on his site, and what Phil's saying is something   
   every engineer and technician and rigger in a recording studio or on a film   
   set knows. They'd be amazed that a guy in the sound business doesn't know.   
   This worthless little    
   wanker "hugeshows" shoots off at the mouth all the time and three minutes   
   later is forced to retract and apologize. Valve has already identified for you   
   the reason this wretched little man contradicts Jac, that he is a Magnequest   
   Scummie returned under a    
   new name. If I remember correctly, Jac is an importer and seller and booster   
   for Lundahl transformer, which are far, far, superior to Creepy Mike LaFevre's   
   Magnequest Crap, and cheaper too, and I seem to remember Jac also being a   
   distributor for some    
   solidly designed and made Italian transformers (Bertolucci?). Jac knows a   
   thing or two, which is why such a useless clown contradicting Jac is already   
   an outrage, but to do it by making such a dumb, obvious mistake, really takes   
   the cake. Still, the    
   foolish little motormouth has backed off and apologized, so I shall say   
   nothing more unless he's stupid enough to open his mouth again.
