Have you tasted human in a stew? Have you? Would you eat more if you tasted it and liked it?

It does taste good. I believe the reports that it does so. I am now answering you on a moral plane and the answer is no. I will never eat human flesh. There is no degradation of character involved through listening to music, unlike cannabilism. You are comparing apples to oranges when one involves moral precedent. A twisted tautology that makes as much sense as 'in order to be free we must all become slaves'.

This debate is about more than "it sounds good to my ears". You ever hear a John Hogan amp? They sound good but most people would not build an amp like that. Do you want something accurate or something that is pleasing to your ear? Two different things. In some cultures, cannibalism is not taboo. Someone may argue that it is a degradation of character to misrepresent engineering?
I have both, I have many amps built, by me and together with a close friend.I have a push/pull 45 for deadly accuracy.
I have a modified George Wright for euphonic smoothness.
I can build to suit the music or my whim.
Here is one build, there are many other in form... usually, but not always following function.

GEO,
A tip of the hat to you sir.
Wow, having to discuss audio Absolute Sound style for years on end must be a drag. Even more so for you.
He does seem to get fed regular. I'm not surprised when he shows up at dinnertime.
For myself, I'm going to ignore the ad copy, and respond to the meaningful, and treat them both like they are somebody's grandfather, even when they are abrasive and curmudgeonly.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
No, that one was built by Will and I both...that one in the photo is a one off, many too many special attributes unlike what Will sells. Am working out of town at present so am unable to show my builds that do not include Will... they use solid maple wood frame/hi- carbon stainless 9 gauge via plasma cutter. I'm not against overkill... if it is done in moderation.

OK. I thought that looked liked a Vincent amp. I have not heard them. I have followed your posts in the pasts. I was using an extreme example because I am sure you not only care about what your amps sound like and I would be surprised that you would chose to do things that make no sense to basic engineering principles Not discovering something untried, but rather doing things that have been proven to be wrong. I would be surprised if you did not care that a car idles twice as fast as necessary, even although it drives nice? Most of these arguments have been about outlandish and made up claims. Look at Dennis' post about how mesh tubes work..... gibberish. Another gem, he said most amps don't sound good after you purchase them because nobody uses the shake test to match tubes like he does. You can't go by how they test. You have to shake them and find the ones that sound the same when you shake them. They have different resonant frequencies based on how the internal rattle around inside. Find the two that sounds the same.
CS,
You posted a PP amp on the SET forum? I would take either one of the SET amps pictured on this thread. Hell, I give up.

An SET is the ultimate amp for playback on sensitive speakers, no doubt.
Of course, that is why we build SETs !!! Joe Roberts has influenced a lot of this I'd suggest !!! Hi Joe !! Got some Emilar / Showco EH-500s with adaptors for my 802Ds last month .
