of op-amp topology of a diff amp input and global feedback to the - or + input to set gain. This was formulated in the fifties for such things as computers, power supplies, and nuclear missles. Why do they think they can apply it to music amplifiers. I'm not an EE. I'm a layperson who loves music and enjoys building my own equipment. But it seems to me IMHO that audio has been put on the back burner. Audio has been made the stepchild in the electronics world. EEs make the assumption that if an op-amp is good enough to drive a shaker table then it's "good enough" for audio. Why has it taken EEs so long to learn to design with transistors? In this lies the answer to why tube circuits command the best sound. Once the EEs who never use their ears have made their calculations proving to themselves mathematically that their design is "good enough" for audio, we audiophiles must live with it. And in some of their designs, that is indeed difficult to do for people who do use their ears. Cordially, Ray Hughes
