Sheer sophistry.  The output is part of the circuit from the perspective of amplifier design, an obvious example being the importance of impedance matching with valve amplification.

That might be so but it does not change the fact that it is wrong to say that negative feedback is not used to stabilise a circuit.

No one said that negative feedback guarantees stability.  The point refuted is that negative feedback is not used to improve stability - a position that is untenable.

From the same article: '[N]egative feedback generally promotes stability. Negative feedback tends to promote a settling to equilibrium, and reduces the effects of perturbations. Negative feedback loops in which just the right amount of correction is applied with optimum timing can be very stable, accurate, and responsive'.

Although loyalty is commendable, trying to defend chrisv's lack of understanding is not really helping him or anyone else.

It is you who don't understand.  There is more than one thing here to which
the word "stability" replies:  output versus circuit characteristics.

Chrisv's mistake is in not clarifying, in his original statement, the
element being characterized by the word "stability".

Of course, you clowns glom onto anything and build it up into some kind of
defamation, so I am just pissing into the wind here.

Not just for output.  Negative feedback can stabilise a circuit as well but since you know nothing about amplifier design, I wouldn't expect you to comprehend.

Unfortunately for you and chrisv, negative feedback helps to stabilise circuits as well.

You're the one engaging in defamation.  When it comes to how negative feedback can stabilise circuits, I can certainly agree that you're pissing in the wind trying to buddy up with chrisv.

So your best defense is to claim that the *output* of the circuit is not part of the circuit? That doesn't make sense.

You do realize that there are typically several stages of a circuit with intermediate stages having their own outputs (eg - multistage amplifier). So which specific output don't you think is part of the circuit?

His mistake is doubling down on his original mistake instead of owning up to it.

Nice back-bend to try to split hairs, Ahlstrom.

That's merely a qualifier.  Your whole defense has been farcical from the start,
as you've both been trying to rationalize ignoring a design's **first order effect** 
by trying to point out that there's a **second order effect**.  

But no one ever claimed that said second order effects don't exist.


> Google it up.  No, LMGTFY.

"Though negative feedback has many advantages, ..."

Try reading the top of the page first, for the more primary points are mentioned first:

"Whereas positive feedback tends to lead to instability via exponential growth, 
oscillation or chaotic behavior, negative feedback generally promotes stability."


And the section you cited from started with the note:
"Main article: Negative feedback amplifier"

Which is URL:  
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_feedback_amplifier>
Perhaps this is really a better URL you should have used.
Looking at that pages Overview:

"Fundamentally, all electronic devices that once provided power gain (e.g., 
vacuum tubes, bipolar transistors, MOS transistors) are nonlinear. Negative 
feedback trades gain for higher linearity (reducing distortion), and can 
provide other benefits."

There's that pesky old primary purpose listed first again.

And sure, it also mentions some second order effects to watch out for:

"If not designed correctly, amplifiers with negative feedback can become unstable, 
resulting in unwanted behavior such as oscillation."

But the cart *still* doesn't go in front of the horse.

If the output is not part of a circuit, I would be interested to know Chris's explanation for how impedance mismatch between speaker load and output can cause flyback potential that causes the output transformer and/or the valve sockets to arc or how impedance mismatch can reduce the lifespan of a thermionic valve.

Trying to define a technical precisely is splitting hairs?

There you have it - a valid, real world example of how negative feedback can stabilise a circuit and Ahlstrom runs away.

What a lying asshole, like you, points-out is usually wrong.

Any *objective* observer would think that I put-up a pretty robust
argument, and posted copious amounts of evidence (Web links, school
books, diploma), for a someone that is (according to shitty trolls) a
"clueless bullshitter".

You are a bald-faced liar, "-hh".  I also posted a photo of my
diploma.  This was the item that "GreyCloud" challenged me to post,
after accusing me of lying  about my books.  When I predicted that he
would also deny that the diploma was mine, you attacked me.

FFS, what choice did he have?  What choice do any of you trolls have?
You *must* deny that the diploma is mine, or your entire fantasy world
of me being a "clueless liar" comes crashing down!

If I am completely in the right, about all of this, what does it say
about you (*and "GleyCloud" and "Ezekiel" and "Hadron" and "Cola
Zealot"), "-hh"?  Does it say that you are shit?

I just noticed the above untruth.

The *truth* is that I posted the collection of all of the technical
books that I used during the entire duration of my education in
Electrical Engineering, which culminated in me graduating with a
Bachelor's degree, magna cum laude.

There are also a couple (the Grob and the Malvino) of older
"technician" level books that I had.

Congratulations. That's quite an accomplishment.

It might be, if it was true.  FYI, he never showed his actual
diploma (recused or not).

And since the claim above is now claiming to have been a pile of
**ALL** of his textbooks for what's known to be a four year degree,
request that he repost it .. the original link is dead, and my
recollection is that it wasn't more than perhaps but a dozen books.
Needless to say, one doesn't graduate with an Engineering degree
from an accredited institution without at least a ~half dozen new
textbooks per year.

Thank you.  I am very proud of two things: my daughter, and my BSEE.

It is a known fact that -hh has a habit of amplifying his negative 
feedback. He will throw out unsubstantiated, non-germane, non-verifiable 
arguments to puff himself up.  If nothing works he will cry  “ad hominem 
attack”.  Once in a while he will post a photo of himself standing next 
to his neighbors expensive sports car.

Small minds in a big way will deny others their accomplishments. The 
reasons are obvious.

Hey DFS ... here's another one self-identifying his pwnage.  
You probably remember the 2014 beatdown over his "70,000x better!".

Eliciting DFFFFS's help hey? What, are you a man or a pansy boy wearing 
a frock? I think the latter! That is pure ad hominem for you!

You might think the “2014-70,000x” tangle as a beatdown, a wishful 
mistaken perception on your part. In reality, you were dragged deep into 
uncharted waters over a period of a month and drowned there 
unceremoniously. The near death experience must have been really 
traumatic for you. No wonder you are crying out for DFFFFS to come to 
your aid!

Has there ever been a chrisv post without cuss words?
