Swampwalker,
I've been wrong before, and I may be wrong now, but I still think I called it right. This is how he starts off.
"New in the field. I am wondering what is most important: a great amplifier with a good preamplifier, or a good amp, with a great preamplifier? Or should I look at a good amp with a great do certain brands make amplifier to go with preamplifier and receivers?
Thank you kindly."
How do you go from that, to this?
"After reading some comments on amplifier, I really wonder what mechanical/electrical/audio miracles have been performed , knowing the fact that the laws of Physics are still the same as they were 20/30 years ago, metallurgy has not come up with new alloys, to justify the cost in ten of thousands of dollars. As Mr Carver demonstrated, by building an affordable amplifier, of which the sound could not be distinguished from an extremely expensive name amplifier that was being compared to(mid`s 70 )!
The fact also remains that the human auditory system is very limited in scope, unless your name was Beethoven, or Mile Davis,for example. Just wondering.....So if I was able to spend 5/6 grands on an amplifier, I would probably buy a Carver amp...I can already feel the wave of outrage from all the AUDIOPHILES coming at me....OHLALA!"
He's new in the field, very humble and wants out opinions. It sounds great.
He's gone from being the humble learner just a few short days ago, to having it all worked out on several different fronts scientifically. And now top it all off with a healthy dose of know it all sarcasm. For all I know, you may be right, but to me that last post sounds like someone who came here to teach, and already had their mind made up.
