Ultra high resolution

Hi folks, I suppose this is a question none could answer appropriately. How come that some (there are to my knowledge only two of them) amplifier brands are building such ultra high resolution solid state amplifiers without having a treble that sounds shrill or piercing or artificial? It is of course proprietary info if you ask those manufacturers.
Is it because of very tight selection of matched transistors? Is it because lack of global but high level of local feedback? Is it because of the use of very expensive military grade parts? Is it because of the power supply? Is it because of the application of special circuit design? Is it because all of the above?

Is, uh,...these amps you know. Is, uh, ...your amp a goer, eh? Know whatahmean, know whatahmean, nudge nudge, know whatahmean, say no more?

Tight selection of matched local feedback military grade transistors in special circuits with global power supplies.

That's good, that's good!
A nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat!

lack of global but high level of local feedback with ultra high resolution without sounding shrill

Very good, very good! Ay? Ay? Ay?
(pause)
Oooh! Ya wicked Ay! Wicked Ay! Snap snap, grin grin, wink wink, nudge nudge, say no more!

Good one Chris!

Hi Thuis, have you tried a power cord upgrade for your stats yet? I remember that thread in early April. Just wondering.

Yeah, I know this is becoming a bit boring. Just skip this one. Unquestionably not one of my most original threads...

not a bad question at all, I think.
Seems with one amp I have which I think fits the bill to a degree, lack of internal wiring i.e. very short distance between things, only 1 board with input/output and power jacks mounted directly on board, point to point soldering, a real mother of a transformer and output caps, minimal protection circuits, no fuses.
The opposite you talk about, lack of detailed resolved etc. harsh sound, I have heard from units with lots of boards/devises/controls/wire/ inside.
More to discover
