I need more than a fuzzy, undocumented memory to dismiss Hi-Fi Choices's blind listening tests. Many of us, including Art Dudley, MF, DO, JV, and HP were warning those who would listen that ss and digital were inferior to tubes and analogue where it counts: in being true to TAS (live unamplified music). My favorite rooms at the 2010 and 2011 CASs were tube and analogue based: Audio Note, Sonist/deHavilland, Teresonic, Audio Note, Acapella, Magico, King, and Usher. Here is some of what RH says about SET amps in the May TAS: "But put that 18W SET in a system with an appropriate-load loudspeaker and the sound will melt the heart of even the most hardened objectivist....I can't help but question whether nearly a century of conventional wisdom about what makes an amplifier 'good' has led us down the wrong path."
