Recall many years ago visiting a speaker manufacturer with a group of audiophiles and other members of the equipment a speaker manufacturer communities. We were listening to vinyl with the owners system in a listening room be had at his large woodworking shop which included custom built SET monoblocks which everyone was sitting around enjoying when a guy walked in with a new 'audiophile' chip amp.
We plugged it into his system and marveled at how well (better?) it controlled the speakers and the dynamics and frequency range. About 5 minutes later I looked around the room and only myself and one other guy, tube amp manufacturer, were left in the room. Everyone else was off in the kitchen chatting.
"All that feedback in those 'chips' in that amp just steals the 'soul' from the music. That's why everyone left." said he.
Never forgot that.
First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass
