Actually I have no idea - it was a question! I agree it's not a single mechanism, although it fits a power law so well (and with nice powers) that I suspect there's a simple explanation. In any case the initial conclusion is supported - this amp has much less distortion, at all audible levels, than a typical tube amp. While that may not be saying much, it does indicate that it's unlikely to sound unpleasant at any listening level. This is further supported by the fact that the reviewer listened to it and stated it sounded the same as any other well-behaved amp; I'm sure he tried turning down the volume, and he has one of the best and most revealing speaker systems in the world. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31843 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
