In Reply to: AFAIK, Hervé Delétraz believes solid state output stages should not use multiple driver pairs posted by John Marks on June 27, 2014 at 12:56:23:
Single pair of transistors per side, if this is true why does the latest Sony amplifier TA-1ES sound at least to my ears and to a loudspeaker designer that I know, so bad yet gets rave reviews in HFN & RR & Words & Music. I find the Sony amplifier to sound artificial with a poor bass, (probably due to the FET input) I have yet to see a US review of this amplifier which fortunately can be tried out for 30 Days with a full refund including carriage (in the UK) direct from Sony.

- My guess is that M. Delétraz would say that circuit simplicity is a necessary but not sufficient condition. - John Marks 09:08:38 06/28/14 (0)
