Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

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

RE: At best Cheever defines the euphonic, not the accurate

""properly" designed amplifiers within their limits they should all sound the same...i.e. no sound of their own."

I think it should read "properly specified". Maybe that would be better. Home audio is a nightmare because there are almost no system level specifications especially with respect to out-of-band energy.

"What exactly is logically not true about there is no such thing as zero distortion when designing amps with non-linear devices (of course there are no linear devices so...)? "

Nothing. It was the notion that it couldn't be reduced to inaudibility using feedback. But... the latter can easily be true if there's not enough GBW.

"THe low distortion brigade has had their 60+ years in the sun"

And will have many, many more... You of all people know that distortion is bad, although some forms are far worse to the ear than others. BUT, if all things are equal except for the quantity, less is more.
