| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? " Better: Smoother, more detailed, greater center image palpability. Wider bandwidth, particularly in the bass. Greater speed and so on." @ atmasphere: With great respect, since I'm well-aware of your expertise- is it possible to assign a monet... | |
| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? Once we’ve agreed on a suitable, appropriate, and applicable definition of "better" in the context of reproduced music, only then can the dialog proceed.

| When someone tells you it's a $40,000 amp, does it sound better? I find it humorous that some a’philes seem to think that the pursuit of reproduced musical sound is some kind of contest.
