That's not a belief, it's a fact* - and that fact hasn't changed at all, recently or otherwise. > or all that an amplifier had to do was demonstrate " straight wire with > gain" "Straight wire with gain" is the ideal for an amp. I've never heard anyone dispute that, and I can't imagine why they would. Modern SS amps come pretty close - close enough that the differences between them are generally inaudible. *Within reason, obviously - 50 feet of 24 gauge lamp cord will be perceptibly lower in volume when used as speaker cable than 1 foot of garden hose cable - but even then there's little or no evidence the difference is perceptible after volume matching. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=55950 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
