Global Negative Feedback -- truly evil?

Amp/Preamp Asylum

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

I'm curious to hear thoughts on this, especially from the manufacturer contributors like Charlie from Ayre.
Is global negative feedback (GNF) truly "evil" as many manufacturers claim -- and, if so, why? It's certainly a major marketing statement these days, particularly with SET manufacturers.
I use a high GNF amplifier (Naim) in my system and it sounds great to me.
One thing I will posit from all I've read is that the *implementation* of GNF is critical to achieving good sound.
