RE: Wavelength Crimson

"I think the point John Swenson makes is that lower measured distortion in SS designs gained by applying feedback does a disservice to the actual sound, despite that it might measure 'better'."

-- Really, the only point I'm trying to make is that once you're talking about "a disservice to the actual sound," or anything similar, you are back into subjective, theoretical territory, and statements like "lowest distortion" no longer belong in the conversation. You want a subjectivist dialogue? Good. A subjective evaluation is the only thing that matters to you? Even better. But if that is the case there is no reason to fortify your point of view with terms -- distortion, dynamic range, transparency, etc. -- that imply objective measures. What you hear and why you prefer it, in strictly descriptive terms, should be enough. To put in such terms, good solid state, particularly in an excellent active implementation has, to my ear, far greater clarity, speed and precision than any tube rig I've ever heard. And YMMV as well.
