Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?

Nelson Pass makes amps that purposely distort the signal to make them work with certain speakers. I know a recording engineer who bought one of his designs and said it was one of the worse sounding amps he's ever heard. He even called Nelson and told him so and they discussed it.

The recording engineer thinks it's that he makes his amps to get the best out of whatever speaker that's taken his fancy at the time. He noticed that if there's ever a picture of Nelson with a speaker in the background, the amp he's working on is probably meant to match that speaker, and most of them are widebanders. 

This is not to say that Nelson can't make a great all around amp: it's that he sometimes chooses not to. Even Sarjan at 6moons (who's on great terms with Nelson) describes in detail how his amps are skewed in certain ways to accommodate certain speakers. 

All the best,

Interesting. 
Thanks!

I think that measurement has value for design, independent of listening tests...

I think that listening tests have value for us independent of the measuring tests...

I think that the correlation between measurement tests and listening tests is great audio science...


But my ears-brain always smile, without or with science... :)

Interesting that the conversation has turned to Global feedback vs Non-feedback design, or simply we hear and like the audio waves that our own ears can interpolate not necessarily better specs in test measurements.

Distortion, distortion and distortion, we all hear and sum things up just a little bit different inside of our own minds.

Hey! @gratefuleric grab a strong cup of java and sit down and watch Unidentified: Inside America's UFO Investigation and report back ASAP.

Schroeder is wrong. Cables develop directional molecule flow. When you disturb the cables that is compromised until they have time to form again. The wiring and the dialectric both. Some people believe that all cd players sound the same.
