RE: Is Vintage Iron Inherently Better Than Modern?

I have, for a long time, suspected that the primary difference in the "sound" of amps is due to their performance at or near clipping. Of course source impedance is important too, particularly when the speaker has a complex load. I have also noticed with transistor amps, that the lower powered amps of the same design, sound better as long as they are not clipping. The number of devises in the output stage also seems to affect sound quality.

Welcome back, Jerry!
