Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

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

It's really simple...

...since there IS NO SUCH THING as a straight wire with gain, how do you know how one amplifier's deviations from that goal affect the music as opposed to another amp's deviations?

Which reproduces music more "accurately"? One of the two must.

It is NOT POSSIBLE to find out JUST with measurements.

Observations of trained critical listeners are not "subjective" any more than is your ability to identify your wife's voice on the telephone.

And of course you are tired of my comments because you KNOW my logic and reasoning are correct.

Which makes you WRONG.

Music reproduction is the ultimate goal, not trading off one bench measurement for another, and you cannot determine the success or failure of a design WITHOUT LISTENING to the result.
