Audio Research REF600 MKI MKII

Short of driving an amp into clipping, fewer output devices will almost always result in a more stable circuit that should measure and sound better under normal operating conditions. This is due to the fact there are fewer components in the total circuit, less chance for mismatches or differences in parts tolerances, less to go wrong, etc.... Sean

Jtinn's credibility has been questioned by a one time poster. I should probably stay out of this but I hate to see a man such as Jtinn, who I have bought and sold audio gear being called a troll. Jtinn is honest, knowledgable and a valuable member. When Jtinn speaks I listen. The man knows what he is talking about. Thanks Jtinn for all of your help. It's a shame that this one time poster has caused you to defend yourself for giving your opinions. It's easy for me to see who the troll is.

It seems Jimj, that the only thing fundamentally flawed, is your hapless attempt to bring a personal agenda to an otherwise informative thread. I've had but few dealings with Jtinn myself, and have found him to be a knowledgeable straight shooter and have never questioned his credibility, as I have now yours.Pushing amps into clipping doesn't lead to superior sound?!?! Who da thunk! Thanx so much for that erudite offering.We're all richer for it.
