Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

Vacuum tube amplifiers as a measuring stick for modern, high current, low feedback SS amplifiers?

I don't think so.

How can you compare the performance you get out of modern, ultra-fast bipolar/FET devices to what you get out of an output transformer, esp. SE? Not to mention the sound?

I like my frequency response flat, not looking like a bell curve, but that's just me.

I realize alot of people like the euphonic 2nd-order harmonic distortion, the reactive nature of the OPT that causes phase shifts and the high output impedance that is another problem.

However, that's not what we're discussing here.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
