Accusing me of "fiction," as owner of 1,000 LP's of quantity of noise from high to low, they were all made from 80 db Master tapes on a good day as the source. Also 2,000 cd's and 3,000 DVD's and 500 Blue Rays, including the latest 4K "wow" ones from Hollywood. Dost thou presume too much?60 db S/N ratio was all on could expect from a non linear RIAA curve that made Microgroove records workable even on the crappiest most common systems.
Again this discussion has extrapolated with EMOTIONAL defenses and accusations way beyond the scope of the original text.
I don't care what type of transistor you use in your output devices. The JC-1 amplifier (whose name appeared here as "name dropping" uses many devices in parallel to get output that could be used for arc welding or jump starting a locomotive with the typical "audiophool" tweeter wires of 4 AWG, promoted by snake oil salesmen.
I measure 124 db output in my sweet spot with a pair of 2-way Jubilees in my living room. I was at the Klipsch Factory in Hope for a demo with their Chief Engineer and co-inventor, Roy Delgado.
He was using Professional class D amplifiers (QSC and Crown)even back then, and no one complained about noise he was also using a cheap, $50 cd player as music source.
From the sublime to the ridiculous, all comments are welcome here, relevant or not.
