Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

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

Pardon my poor English...I meant:

The only way to judge quantitative differences is through measured performance".....

The point being, there is no way to measure subjective performance and thus no metric to prove claims of "superior" or "better sound". There is no proving one's tastes are superior to another's. That's been the whole point.

If you make claims about the superiority of one topology or amp over another, the only claims that can be verified are those made about the quantitative, or measurable performance. If you want to argue specs, fine. Ncore can stand against the best.

The "live music" argument is a failure. We all have our own perceptions of what live music sounds like. Just like we all have our own preferences when it comes to which amp sounds best. It's subjective.
