RE: Digital amps

"That is why people's take on these amps widely vary."

Maybe I've been spoiled, maybe I've been finicky. But I've yet to hear a digital amplifier that to me didn't diminish what I often call "information density." The natural attacks and decays of steel percussion is one thing digital amps just don't do right. Nor the ability to appreciate the tonal uniqueness of a Steinway versus a Bechstein. Nor the harmonic complexity of Marc Lifschey playing the oboe.....

The music just takes on a "generic" character through a digital amplifier.
