In Reply to: Another crackpot theory to bash negative feedback and solid state amplifiers by SET fans posted by Soundmind on June 13, 2006 at 03:09:15:
Your criticism focuses on the fact that ss amps have much lower harmonic distortion and that the author seeks to show that tube amps are better. I don't think you at all touch his findings in your criticism. Who says that harmonic distortion is the standard? I cannot imagine that many would accept that as a valid measure or that he found it to be the measure of choice. Again, I have not read the thesis, and he may have chosen harmonic distortion as the measure best correlated with subjective rankings, but I doubt it.I don't think your title suggests any scientific objectivity and your comments are not appropriate scientific criticism as it suggests no alternative explanations nor any more valid measures.
