Are there any videos or all just pictures ..?

Is that a 300B ..?

The intellectually interested type who understands mostly whats being tested ..! To be fair stereophile does the same , carefully selective measurements to protect the innocent , ASR does the same to make class D look superior so they can have a laugh ..! JA has been taken to task many times...

Nah he knows more than just enuff but a high dose of cognitive dissonance , hypocrisy and the need to feed his audience goes along way .. Regards

Measurements have everything to how something sounds , it cant say you will care for it when you apply your tastes , but for sure you can predict outcome after proper measurements especially on amps..

Unfortunately very rare to have good balance with such high sensitivity , unless a very large system ( cant be a 2 way for eg) where efficiency takes a hit but at 105db shud not be an issue ..

Nah i have heard really good bass from SET’s with fantastic Jump not matched by PP toob amps with maybe a few exceptions .. An SET done right matched to some really good speakers ( most are not ) is a fantastic sound its not sleepy or warm or wooly at all ..! Regards

Ohh , the class D measurements tweaked to their Biases is what really count guys..! Challenge them technically and they make TDS twats look sane .. :) I actually do go there but only for Amir’s Bench test results for information …. Regards

What is ASR ..?

IMO the strength of a good SET is how it handles the bass , its ability to transition with pace is what makes them great with fantastic jump , if only using for mids/highs a PP tube like a VAC is vastly superior …

A good SET is not lush , dark etc , as a matter of fact really good top amps have alot of similarity in their sound reproduction which is , they become very pre amp related in what you hear once you match amp drive to load !

Mc3500 Mike give a pr a try …!

Had VK600’s , with Bat pak, not a big fan, no drive, they were best on 8 ohm monitors sound and drive was good , Poor on ESL’s and large low Z speakers ..! Moved on

Tubes sonically deteriorate long before they measure bad , it’s one reason to keep SS around if using tubes to keep them honest ….

One signed up to sell , the other to buy , then they new member Duke it out …! The Matrix if not for anything is entertaining :)
