Re: More answers

> Andy, your questions are naive.

My simple questions were asking you to expand on statements you had made that seemed unreasonable to me.

> We have been working of this stuff for more than 35 years. I.e., why global negative feedback seems to make amps sound lousy, especially if more than 20dB.

In which case I find it hard to understand why you did not give a more convincing initial response.

> I will give you real references that point to the problems, and perhaps, the solutions, if you are really interested, but I can't just tell you in a few sentences what the problems are, and how to work around them.

Thanks. I have an interest and would prefer references. Not so much the problems of high global feedback but the sounds lousy aspect.

> Your Class A vs Class AB question shows your lack of understanding of distortion generation in ANY audio component, even at the theoretical level.

I asked why class A? I fail to see why this means I do not have a reasonable grasp of the pros and cons even at a theoretical level.

> Perhaps, you should take some classes in analog engineering design.

The problem here is the sounds lousy. People teaching such classes will discuss things like gain, forms of distortion and the pros and cons of various approaches but they will all assume the objective is linearity and not some deviation from it that sounds attractive.
