In Reply to: What Constitues A "Properly Designed" Amp? posted by thetubeguy1954 on April 13, 2007 at 06:31:53:
Must be easy to do since some tube amps met that definition in the 1960's when used with very efficient speakers of that era.A simple product that audiophiles complicate by comparing amps playing music at different SPL's and then declaring they all sound different!
Other than wires, no other components are more difficult to differentiate than non-clipping solid state amplifiers playing full-range music at the same SPL.
To the extent that a tube amplifier can produce an audible difference, versus a solid state amplifier, the difference is most likely caused by high output impedance affecting the frequency response of the speakers. Maybe a pleasing coloration, but not accuracy.
The choice of the brand/model of (non-clipping) amplifier is not very important (like speaker brand/models are) except in the imaginations of high end audiophiles where everything is imagined to sound different, which may be true because components are rarely compared playing music at the same volumes ... and sometimes not even in the same rooms on the same day!
Okay go to work TubeGuy1954 and really give me the business!
