RE: Subjective Criteria, and the word " defect "

Perceived sonics on play back depends largely on how good is the source, and particularly, the original recording.

If an amp can play all of the musical instruments on a good recording convincingly / subjectively to me,...... that is all that is required.

If said amplifier " hypothetically " also didn't measure well using conventional bench testing, I would be most hesitant of using your assumed and descriptive word " defect ".

( Unless, perhaps, if we were applying a word like " defect " to one's conventional bench testing. )

An amplifier that is able to subjectively play back all the musical instruments, very convincingly, is the goal, and the key IMHO, to our long-term audio satisfaction.
