In Reply to: Now you're reached a higher level of confusion than ever before = congratulations posted by Richard BassNut Greene on January 7, 2008 at 12:51:10:
Richard,
I now believe I was mistaken about your increased reading comprehension. What part of The measurements manufacturers take to provide the specs they do with their various audio components don't correlate very well with what I hear didn't you understand? Apparently quite a bit of it if you feel the need to tell me The THD measurements will be made at maximum rated output per channel using an 8 ohm resistor. to support your arguement.
In addition I've noticed you're back to twisting the arguement to fit your beliefs once again! I was speaking about amps, not speakers. Yet once again you've brought the topic around to better fit your beliefs by applying what I said to speakers with your statement of: Therefore which measurement is "better" or "worse" (you use the incorrect terms "best" and "worst"), would be irrelevant for real speakers (efficient enough to be driven without clipping) Oh and FYI if there's only two amps then better amp is also the best of the two and the worse amp is the worst of the two, so no my use of the terms "best" and "worst" wasn't incorrect! Better understanding of basic english would help you in this area, along with some increased reading comprehension.
Finally FYI for the vast majority of my time as an audiophile I actually:
1) Prefered solidstate amps.
2) Believed wires (IC's powercords & speaker wire) sounded the same.
3) Believed tubed components were inferior.
The difference between you and I Richard is a remained and still remain open-minded! But more importantly I trust my ears. I was "converted" to tubes when I went to visit one of my friend's (Rick Carpenteri) friend. This guy (Rich Mayu) had an Aronov 960I integrated tubed amp, Platinum solo speakers and a CAL basic CD player. Yet the sound was so life like I was shocked. It easily bested my solid state OCM 88 preamp, OCM 200 poweramp (both designed by Dave Belles) my original Carver Amazings and my top of the line Nakamichi CD Player! This guy's system cost less than half what my system cost and I would have traded systems on the spot! His sounded that much better. That's what introduced me to tubes (if my memory serves me correctly)
Richard I have no vested interest in prefering tubed equipment. It's just that most of the time tubed equipment sounds more like live, unamplified music to me. Still I'd love to hear ASR's new Emitter II solidstate amp or some of the other highend solidstate stuff. I also loved (and still do) Mike Elliott's Counterpoint, and Llano's Hybrid equipment! I know you believe you have a firm grasp on what I believe, but you honestly don't as evidenced with your statement of: as a Tube lover you are probably so biased against solid state amplifiers that you would get a migraine headache before they were turned on! Trust me Richard whether you believe it or not, NOTHING could be further from the truth...
