My dog ate my homework

As Mark Twain famously said, "Rumors of my death are highly exaggerated."

I apologize for the lack of apparent progress in the electro-archaeology of Hilgen amplifiers.  However, the materials I received from Jack Gentul's family are so numerous and varied that it has been difficult to formulate a way of presenting them coherently.  In addition, many a document that at first appeared unremarkable has turned out to contain important details about what I thought I understood about Hilgen or clues to parts of the story that I had never anticipated. At times my options seemed to be either to (a) start the site all over again or (b) give up completely.  I know realize that I must follow the maxim that seemed to guide Jack Gentul's work over the course of four decades:
"do the very best you can with whatever is at your disposal.  It doesn't have to be perfect.  Nothing is routine; experiments are the norm."

So, what were we discussing before I was so fortunately interrupted?

Birds are considered to be good pets for those people who want to be entertained because they can also interact with you in as much as a dog, cat or any other type of animal can. It is said that if you are prone to stress it would be advisable for you to take care of a pet on your own - and birds are oftentimes the targets for such precept.

    I've been playing electric guitar for 44 years.  That's an alarming statistic... Anyway, I admire underdogs and unsung heroes.  Particularly when they labored in complete obscurity, making spectacular amps that were forgotten for more than 30 years. Another alarming statistic.
