What amps do Electrical Engineers own...why?


Not being an engineer, I would like to know what the electrical engineers in the crowd own for amps and what engineering features made them choose that amp? As a lay person, I don't know enough to be able to differentiate good engineering from good marketing.

"Going just by specs, a Sony receiver from best buy has better printed specs than most high end equipment."

WOW!!! Never thought I would live to see this admission. You better ask for witness protection!

Almarg has the best answer...


As usual....thanks Al.
My best friend is an EE, and he uses a 25 year old Harmon Kardon receiver. He is into music, but he is very objective, and listens with his meters.
I am an electrical engineer and very,very few other EE's that I know have much interest in high end audio, they are mostly skeptical of improvement over brand name audio. They are not wealthy and would not spend big bucks on audio. Newer EE's are digital educated unlike those from the analog era. Only ancient EE's know tubes.

I own Pass Labs XA60.5's mono blocks.
Almarg,
No NFB and DHT tubes is a very solid foundation to build with. Has it meet your expectations?
