I have a pretty good understanding of amplifiers and have over the years developed a preference for certain types of circuit topology. However, I moved to valve amplification several years ago and haven't really auditioned any of the newer amps. Valves simply sound better to me and I've moved on and settled in. I wish I had done it many years ago.
Do you understand your amplifier?
I see a lot of people talking about the sound of their amplifier. Simply out of curiousity I would love to know how many audiophiles actually understand why their amplifiers sound a specific way. Simply put, how many Audiophiles understand the circuitry of their amplifiers. There is no right or wrong answer. I am just curious.
