Nobody has ever asked you or anyone else
to believe anything.
What you got is an
honest discussion of why a
thing is done in a certain way.
Designing a system to SOUND LIKE the real thing
is VERY different from getting it to MEASURE like
the real thing.
The SOUND is done IN A ROOM, using human hearing.
The MEASUREMENTS are done with test instruments.
The assessments are made when a recording playback
agrees-- USING THE HUMAN EAR-- with the recorded
venue.
When industry experts HEAR the real thing in a
listening room, they know it and they understand it
when it happens.
No recording engineer who has acquired amps that
were built in the ways that are described-- ever
parted with them. 2 or maybe it's been 3-- audiophiles
have parted with theirs. Audiophiles buy and sell
every day. I have never met an audiophile who kept
a given system together for more than 2 or 3
years-- most change some important part of their
systems every few months.
That's anybody's right-- to do so. No opposition
from me.
But the vast majority of people who have built
systems the right way from the start-- aren't into
parts changing all the time, especially of amps &
speakers.
More than 96% of the amps I ever built in the ways described
in older posts are with the original owners. 100% have never had
a parts failure-- ever.
