Gentlemen,
Thanks for all of the great responses. Everyone basically confirmed my own thoughts about NFB. I have a Cary sli-80 all triode w/ zero NFB. Its so much better than the regular sli-80 and they only have about 5db nfb. There is just a huge dif in musicality with mine vs the regular sli-80's. I have been looking at getting a SET amp and I found out the other day that one of them that I was considering has 15db of nfb!!
I think it's good advice to stay with zero nfb amps. I have coincident speakers, so they work great with tubes.
Ralph I want to come to RMAF and hear one of your amps, looking forward to it.
Thanks
Mike
