"They simply don't make them like this anymore"


How many times do I have to read this? Or:
"Nothing can touch these"
I wonder what the designers, like Nelson Pass - formerly of Threshold, or Bob Carver - formerly of Phase Linear, would have to say about this?
Are we really supposed to belive that everything these arguably brilliant designers have made since "back in the day" pales in comparison to these vintage pieces?
Time Marches On!

The thing is: the output transistors that are available now are much more linear and faster than those of past years, not to mention the superior capacitors of all types that you can get now. Some of these end up inside newer amps. Same designs, better parts.
DanielK141 - now if they would just use the right capacitors and do the wiring harnesses right....
