Some of the best sounding (and best built) tube amps I have heard do not measure well. Specs probably have little to do with how happy you will be with it. You have probably heard the saying "If it measures well and sounds terrible, it IS terrible. If it sounds great but measures bad, you need to find something else to measure".
Ayon measurements
I was wondering if anyone could point me at a set of measurements for an Ayon amplifier, something like those that Stereophile often provides, particularly THD+N and the sine wave frequency spectrum showing harmonics. Although I feel that listening is the ultimate test, I like to use the measurements as a baseline for how well engineered a product actually is. I've looked high and low for measurements for any Ayon amp, and haven't found any yet. Thanks,
