In Reply to: Aczel's Words DO In Fact Apply To A Specific Set Of Criteria For Audio!!! posted by thetubeguy1954 on April 15, 2007 at 16:52:05:
No, I am not at all twisting the truth, you are just confusing things again. I have often pointed out that you confuse universal and particular propositions.I have stated that "well designed" does not imply any specific requirements. That is a general consideration and I'm sticking to it.
If all you want to know is what Peter Aczel meant by a "well designed" amplifier, by all means read what he says and figure it out. But that isn't the question you asked. Peter Aczel is only one individual and others may and do have different design criteria met to meet different goals, as several here have pointed out. And this is a point you resist. Just considered by itself, the phrase "well designed amplifier" is rather vague and one needs to have more detail before it is really very meaningful in a given situation.
I suspect you are upset that your amplifier (which is in your opinion a "world class" tube amplifier) does not meet Aczel's requirements for a well designed amplifier. Too bad. Get over it.
My second suspicion is that you would then like to accuse Aczel of misusing the English language, and are further upset that you can't get anyone to agree with you, even those who have different conceptions of what they would consider a well designed amplifier. Most people see that "well designed" can be interpreted in different ways for different purposes. But Peter Aczel has been pretty clear (even for you) about what he expects of a well designed amplifier. You don't seem to share those expectations and there is no particular reason why you should if you don't want to. Others have still different things in mind.
