Most helpful guide : What is important in an amplifier

Hello Ben,

This is not form me, but rather, from my friend Dennis Fraker, a very experienced builder and the creator of the Serious Stereo 2A3 amplifiers, his take:

Hi Jeff! I agree with the forum that everything is the whole amp. But I would like to put things into perspective: Here are the percentages one might weigh-in as to importance:

(1) LAYOUT & chassis design-- 45%!!!!!

(2) Internal wiring and LAYOUT-- 15%.

(3) Power Supply design and LAYOUT--15%.

(4) Correct operation of the right tubes or transistors-- 8%.

(5) Elimination of all signal-path parts-- 7%.

(6) Capacitor and resistor quality-- 6%.

(7) Output transformer-- 4%. Now, you got it.
