In Reply to: RE: What if accuracy is boring? posted by 13th Duke of Wymbourne on November 26, 2024 at 14:07:54
I'd suggest that measuring kit for "accuracy" is a waste of time as long as it isn't obviously poor. Music instruments (that produce the music we actually listen to) isn't measured, apart from tuning by ear, so why should our amps?

Based on your statement above, perhaps it's the music that's boring instead of the amplifier. I find this to be the case in my system. I have lots of music that excites me yet I have other albums that just don't sound very good. I guess you could call them boring. I certainly don't think my amplifiers and speakers are boring, though.
Oh, well. To each his own!
What you are describing is boring MUSICIANS, rather than boring musical instruments!
Yes, I agree there are lots of those, but my point is that the obsession by some to examine SINAD and other boring measurement statistics and choose their amps on this basis is bonkers. An amp may measure brilliantly but sound dull. No better way than to buy or borrow a few amps and try them with your speakers in your own room. I did that a few years ago after buying a boring amp that disappointed me, despite its excellent measurements. The one I decided on also measures well but offers so much more listening pleasure and excitement.
