General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

No Dale Carnegie here....

I guess my answer isn't gonna win friends and influence people.

IMO, worrying about how electrons flow through circuits and wires is infinitesimal compared to addressing the acoustic wave-launch into your room and how you receive it at your seat.

The sound-stage can be greatly more effected by room placement and listening position (not to mention room treatments).

That's not to say that different amps won't have a different sound-stage. It is to say that you can almost always compensate for it.

As fas as musical enjoyment goes, I sometimes wonder if sound-stage may be over-rated.

I'd rather have fabulous tone, presence, and dynamics from a mono system than have a stereo system whose main claim to fame is producing audiophile sound effects.

Not exactly what you asked, but I just can't seem to resist getting on my soapbox about this subject.


Best regards,

Jim Smith
