RE: The world according [to] the engineer Nelson Pass

It's stupidly simplistic to make such statements.

Indeed it is. But, though I agree with most of the points you make (esp re toroids), the OP's point wasn't simply that "bigger is better", it was more that his claim had a pedigree. Which it does.

One reason I added the link was that reading the full text may lead the reader to conclude (as I did) that NP is being ever so slightly tongue-in-cheek. There's a clue in the sentence immediately before the one quoted:

Since we are not designing amplifiers here but rather trying to get a handle on what constitutes quality in a market full of hype, I want to talk about some general ideas and comment on some of the common approaches used by manufacturers.

And another in the last sentence:

Get at least 15 pounds of amplifier for each thousand dollars spent.

But maybe that's just me.
