Technical and scientific discussion of amps, cables and other topics.

A subjective perspective.

That's interesting, I now use a preamp with Zero feedback and I hear exactly the opposite. The dense orchestral passages have better dimensionality, and much more tonal texture, one which is consonantly truer to the sound of a real instrument. I hear no unusual noises, and if anything, s/n ratios seem to have increased over the previous designs which used feeback. That, because of circuit topology changes, is not a true and valid comparison for use or non use of feedback..
That being said I do use an amp which employs feedback, so no technology seems to have a stranglehold on good sound (at least to my taste, speaking subjectively).
One of the most vexing problems I have in assessing sound is trying to find a decent transducer: one which is phase and time aligned. I believe too much wasted time and space are spent trying to correct the problems of the transducers. If we did have a time and phase correct transducer with adequate FR, maybe amplifier and cable designs will converge. It sure would make life easier.
