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.

It all depends whether you like distortion. Appropriate use of negative feedback has been conclusively & scientifically proven to reduce distortion. Therefore, if you like distortion then you will not like negative feedback.
SMPS have outstanding performance but they create HF noise in the AC mains. They may affect other linearly powered devices in your audio setup that are close by (like DAC's and/or your CD player and preamp)
