Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

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

I see the distinction, but to get back to specifications ...

Given you extensive discussion of test results in this thread, what you're saying is that published specifications are simplistic, not the objective measurements are irrelevant.

I applaud your efforts to connect measurements with underlying design, e.g. with use of feedback. I'm not so sure I agree with your "all feedback" is bad philosophy. You know, of course, the some designers believe that global feedback is better than local, and that fairly large amount of feedback is better than a little. They point out that their approach results in lower distortion of all types, including high order.

You like a certain sound -- no arguing with preferences -- but that's subjective. You like Monarchy for affordable equipment. But I swapped by a pair of SM-70 Pro's for a Class D Audio SDS-258. The latter is a different sound to be sure -- and better to my ear. (More resolved, transparent, grain-free, and dynamic.)
