Wow, what a bunch of crap, all this "sounds better" subjective bs. There is no arguing subjective valuations of quality-it's all personal opinion, and there is no right or wrong, no better or best. If you want to debate amps or anything else on their merits, the only metric that means anything concrete is objective performance. Bruno has told me he has looked at GaN devices and hasn't found any reason to use them. His purifi amps already perform as close to a wire with gain as one can find. The fact that people are implementing tube buffers, etc., speaks to the fact that everyone has their own personal preferences. What's the best flavor of ice cream? Who is the most beautiful woman? All that matters is what YOU like, and all this wasted time and debate trying to find some consensus is a lot of noise about nothing. The only way to know if you will like something is to try it for yourself- the opinions of others are meaningless.
