Hi

I haven't posted for a while, but seeing an amplifier get a rave
review when it has a distortion level of 2.3% rising to 4% at full
output provoked me. Its the Graaf GM20 reviewed in the November issue
of Hi Fi World. Yours for a mere £3,300. Is the world going mad? I
though that the idea was that amplifiers had as little distortion as
possible. 0.1% as Harold Leak used to claim.

What would he have made of all this? He wrote:

'I believe that the individual engineer should be able to derive
pleasure and satisfaction from the knowledge that has come to him from
his endeavours. But he is not being socially useful unless the
knowledge is translated into physical apparatus, which can be made
available to as many people as possible. To do this the price of the
apparatus must be within their spending capacity.'

Views?

Regards
