Re: QSC Amps - Audiophile Quality??

207.168.191.2

Hi Al,

True, measurements don't fully explain how a piece of gear performs, but the right ones sure help! ;^)

The accuracy of an amp (or any other piece of gear that has electrical signals as inputs and outputs) is actually fairly simple to determine objectively by just comparing the output voltage to the input voltage. Any aberrations WILL show up in the output signal waveform; they may be pleasing to the ear or not. That is one shortcoming I find with using the human auditory/psychoacoustic system to judge accuracy instead of aesthetics. But as I mentioned before, quality (or the lack thereof) is all there in the audio signal; if two different devices inserted alternately into the same system produce identical signals, they will sound identical.

Bass is my main instrument, but I also play guitar, mandolin, keys, bodhrán, Cajun accordion, and a few others. So many [instruments, jam sessions, et al], so little time!

-Bob
