Re: Ludricous claims

"Ludicrous claims are the basis of the rift between subjectivists and objectivists. An objectivist ludicrous claim, for example, would be Peter Aczel's claim that all amplifiers sound alike (with his impedances, not clipping, etc accounted for). Do you agree with his ludicrous claim?"

Why do think the claim is ludicrous? I do not see it as ludricous because many amplifiers that genuinely sound different do not satisfy one or more of the criteria listed by Aczel. For example most if not all zero feedback amplifiers have high distortion and high output impedance, and as a result generally modify the behaviour of the partnering speaker .
