Home Amp/Preamp Asylum

Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: Read his thesis why don't you?

I don't agree that this is the simplest explanation. To agree to this explanation is to then assume that nearly all recordings are deficient with regard to realistic sound quality. Is that likely? I think not.

A simple explanation following Occam's razor should not then open up a can of worms around the recordings.

For me the simplest explanation is that the most correct sounding amp must therefore be the one that is most free of audible distortions. The objective numbers are not so relevant.

IMO, believability in audio from the electronics is the absence of audible artifacts not necessarily measurable ones.

It also becomes clear to me that when a system makes most recordings sound grey and lifeless then it is not the recordings but the gear reproducing them...something is psychoacoustically off.
