Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?

With all due respect, telling people they just need to listen to understand the technical claims is the same thing as you saying "My word is the only proof you need to believe my claims"

That's not what I said

The only way to understand what I have been trying to share is by actual listening.

That's what I said.

You won't gain any technical insight by listening. But you will experience the acoustical result of the process. It is the experience that I'm trying to share.

teo_audio,
Can you enlighten me on the time/space 3d reality issue ?

Thanks

kosst,
I don't understand the obsession with the scope and analyzer - didn't we learn that the THD measurements did not correlate with how it sounds?

You've cited no measurements.

There is nothing to measure. Take the line stage for example. You see a test tone at 1khz sitting at 0db out and if you look across the spectrum headed north of 1 khz you see flat constant noise around -110db. If you specifically monitor the 2khz frequency you see that it is also just the noise floor. There are no other "bumps" showing up in the spectrum. Total absence of harmonic distortion. This was my initial proof that I could prevent a circuit from generating harmonics by using a phase based countermeasure circuit directly on the music signal.

Whoa! Holy guacamole! Oh, so this îs what happens when a measurement fanatic encounters someone who disagrees with him? Geez, I was under the impression the whole amplifier measurement thing - especially THD - went out the window 40 count em years ago! As well as the bullet headed dude 🌰 from Audio Review or whatever.
