Negative Feedback a deal killer?


If an amp employees negative feedback is that a deal killer to you. I have had both zero negative feedback and 5db nfb amps and I much prefer the Zero's. I am looking at a Unison 845 amp and it has over 10db nfb. Or should one just listen and shut up.
Your thoughts are appreciated.

Audiophiles are often fond of attributing all sonic traits of a component to a single issue. It's rather analogous to a car buff assigning everything about an engine's performance to cubic inches.

It is almost never that simple for either audio components or cars. Negative feed back is just like anything else. It can help or it can hurt. It depends on implementation and how it is integrated with all other technical aspects of a design.

That said, I don't know anything about Unison amps, so take a listen if you're truly interested.
