Old news - Peter Aczel was saying this in the 80's. Not worth talking about IMO. I've owned $25k amp/preamp combos and liked them and I've also used a $200 Onkyo reciever while an amp was being repaired and I liked that too. Personally, I think the more expensive high-end stuff sounded better and that's what I choose to own and listen to and I couldn't give two shites about what someone else thinks. And respectfully, either should you .

I cannot totally Agree, I have been running pure class A Pass Labs And most certainly better then the majority of Class An amps Even my brothers Pass 250.8 is far superior yhen most evrn st low volumes We compared a bunch of Audiophile friends gear over 6 months. The average AB amp could not compete in resolution . One big reason is the very High bias in class A for almost the first 20 watts Which is a lot with a 90db dpeaker.. The Valvet mono blocks are around 100 wpc Into 4 ohms pure class A and incredibly detailed at Low volume . Vitus, is another HIGH POWER great sounding amp even met low late night Low level, as well as Gryphon Diablo ?this and the Vitus,integrated are the 2 best Integrated amps I have ever heard at all levels and passed the acid test . I owned a Aufio store until 06 in Europe the new models are even Better. If you are willing to spend these are exceptions to the rule. |
With respect to the talk on old and new violins, I'm surprised no one has mentioned these two studies: Is A Stradivarius Violin Easier To Hear? Science Says Nope Double-Blind Violin Test: Can You Pick The Strad? |
yage With respect to the talk on old and new violins, I’m surprised no one has mentioned these two studies: Is A Stradivarius Violin Easier To Hear? Science Says Nope Double-Blind Violin Test: Can You Pick The Strad? >>>>Actually, your humble scribe mentioned those inconclusive "scientific" tests by trained professionals with Stradivarius vs X brand 4 days ago on this very thread.
