We have low cost high volume production amps that exceed any reasonable
need. AK

OK - so the 'need' for a reference system, e.g. for professional
musicians, that is better than high volume production ss amps is
"unreasonable".

Amps are only useful and interesting as components of more complex
systems,
they are almost completely disinteresting as ends in themselves. AK

So why do you and Jim (DHTs) insist on pontificating over componants
which you have no interest in? Why should people who are seriously
involved in building and improving such componants be REMOTELY
interested in your pompous views when you clearly are only interested
in breezing in and out of threads without contributing anything of
value to the actual R+D of such componants. This is EXTREMELY tiresome
when it has to be endured on a regular basis. On other newsgroups
people actually help each other build projects, go through different
iterations, contribute experience of their own builds, suggest
modifications. Result - great equipment. Think about it.


Where Arny's postulation falls on its arse is that for some people a 'low
cost high volume production amp' simply don't cut the mustard. I have 3 such
amps here and they are fine for their specific purposes (one is an AV amp
and is used daily) but they are not *best* for serious listening and
certainly don't do vinyl any favours, which might explain some of the
attitudes in here...??
