Well I of course agree. Man you write well. I'll have to hold off my review for a while so I don't sound gruff. :-)Yes I had regrets too about the money wasted - but as my dealer said you pay your dues in the industry and it makes you appreciate Audio Note more. The dealer is not like any other dealer I have encountered either - no hard selling there or telling you what you should like. Few words and they let the stuff play. Then when you and you will - say it's the best stuff in the store and wonder how the little speakers do those things and what about the 9 watss and you look at them like a deer in the headlights they kind of laugh knowingly.
I am dissolusioned at the entire industry lately because when I first heard the AN amp I thought it was SS because there are no tubes showing and I had never heard of Audio Note(or had heard the name but that was all). SO there i was listening and saying wow that sound awesome listening to Delerium's Silence(a Trance disc featureing Sarah McLachlan) wow what great bass dynamics and smooth but incredible treble extension.
The dealer says yes this amp (The Meishu) is 8 watts and is a SET amp. I thought it ludicorus - but SET - everyone says SET has no bass no treble, they lack drive they are very noisy like you can always hear hissing when the music is on?
So here's the thing - if the INDUSTRY and engineers and reviewers and measures etc are SOOOOOO very wrong about SET - then gee willickers maybe they are wrong about the other things Audio Note claims. Like it is impossible to get all that bass from the AN E's one 8 inch woofer. Oh well those others are SOOOOOOOO very wrong about that as well.
So maybe they are wrong about Black Gates, Silver wiring and DAC's too. Hmmm - I trust the guy who proves it in the showroom and at home more than some corporate white paper.
