Forgive me, Richard, it's been a long time since we've exchanged notes. I seem attached to the name Robert.
There are a few affordable -- not cheap -- ss amps I've heard that might turn your head.
I can't get over the feeling in reading through this whole thread that I'm listening in on a wine tasting session, "not that there's anything wrong with that." And I'm wondering what the response would be if a live string quartet or the late Doc Watson were added to the wine list. What colors and sonic nuances would be attributed to the 'live' sound.
I've tried that a few times at a live concert, closing my eyes and pretending I was listening to a really good music system. Each time I got the same impression: no particular colors or sonic qualities were in evidence. (And not much imaging either!) The sound of the Alexander Quartet and of the The Bad Plus was not something I could characterize in our usual audio mumbo-jumbo.
