Erik Y U Gotta Hate!

Erik I don’t understand why U Gotta HatePass Labs

+1 after seeing the latest anti Pass Labs thread he started yesterday, just another one of many.

Cheers George

George! 
As they say
"Haters Gonna Hate!" 
Happy Listening

I really dislike the term hate because it’s not true. By the same standards, what is wrong with all of you that you hate neutral, low distortion amps?

The truth is, you don’t hate. You just like what you like. And I think that’s a fascinating topic if we can put that together with measurements.

Eric is on record saying he likes D’agostino amps....

So what makes D’agostinos amps so different from Pass Labs amps?

Read Dan’s quote below, especially the last sentence. It’s pretty much the same philosophy Pass uses. Yet, there’s no hate for D’agostino, no trolling threads, nothing.

If distortion is such a big deal to him, why doesn’t he troll tube amps?

D’Agostino: In Krell’s early days, our amplifiers were really based on sound. I listened to every one. Later on, we became a super-technical company where we [were] really interested in becoming the first to apply new, patented technologies to our amplifiers.

When we started this new company, I really wanted to express my love of music. Because I wanted the Momentum to sound like music, I designed it in a totally different fashion. There’s nothing in the Momentum that I used at Krell. It has higher distortion than what we made for Krell, but it’s made for sound. Oftentimes, something that sounds good doesn’t necessarily measure as well as something that’s made to measure.

Erik the big difference is you go out of your way the start new anti Pass Labs threads, even though you word them in such a way as trying to being objective.

By the same standards, what is wrong with all of you that you hate neutral, low distortion amps?

If you know anything about feedback, you know how technically inept what you just said is. The best amps in the world have little or local only feedback. You need to do more research.
Designers like John Curl, Nelson Pass, Dan D’agostino, Gryphon ect ect ect use as little negative feedback as they can, sometimes even only using just local feedback instead of global.
This little feedback always sounds better if the design is a solid design to start with, instead of having feedback higher just so the amp can be cleaned up and can then get better advertised THD figures and lower output impedances.
