Love the out of date references made back in the 50s by Ralph and Tre when transistor development and doping were just in their infancy. These transistors were crude and dirty compared to devices made in the 70s and 80s and even ditier still compared to deices made today. Their tolerances back in the 50s were all over the map and when combined into an amp just compounded the problem despite deploying -ve feedback to reduce the effects of gross component tolerances. Its a wonder the amps sounded as good as they did.
Follow Ups:
You don't get it...it has nothing to do with the age of the devices...the transistors have the same transfer functions they did then and they are still used in similar circuits...only Pass and a few others are pushing away and finding better sound in simpler circuits using transistors...
Read the article from 2008 from Nelson Pass on his website...it says nothing about "antique" transistors...he is showing the problem with MODERN devices. It is how they are being used that is problematic...and their inherent non-linearity.
Have you heard Nelson's Simpler circuits ?
nope but I would like to
