| Do amps have a sweet spot? My pre amp brings a typical ss amp to rated output at about 6-7 on the dial. SPLs are obviously going to vary among different amps with different power ratings. Measured distortion is not necessarily an indicator of performance as Al pointed out. | |
| Why does most new music suck? 'You ain't never took no boat ride til you ridin on the Ella B'. | |
| Do amps have a sweet spot? No. SPL's have nothing to do with it. Like I said, they all exhibit the same behavior regardless of power rating. Obviously, SPL's are going to change accordingly. But just because it's louder doesn't mean the same things aren't going to happen. C... | |
| Why does most new music suck? But the size changes with perception. You would have made the same statement 50 years ago. You're beating it up just because it's history? My goodness, yesterday is history. There's serious progressive thinking going on in the older music. Far mor... | |
| Do amps have a sweet spot? The general behavior of all my amps is the same whether it's a 45 wpch amp or 800 wpch amp. I don't start hearing prominent inner mid-range detail until the amp is 'cookin'. Does this not stand to reason? Why would I design an amp not to perform i... | |
| Why does most new music suck? You're kidding, right? My kids grew out of their narcissistic tendencies as we stopped posting their crayon art on the refrigerator. Although it sucked really bad, to us it was beautiful so there was no issue whether or not to break it to them gen... | |
| Why does most new music suck? When has it been any different? We're expressing opinions here. As far as Iggy goes, I'd say compared to lots of new stuff, it's fairly complicated. | |
| Do amps have a sweet spot? I wasn't taking you to task. Just pointing out the op's query. Seems it got lost. I knew you'd come through. | |
| Do amps have a sweet spot? I was addressing Al. Sorry for the confusion. | |
| Do amps have a sweet spot? "So... is it usual for an amp not to open up until you start pushing it?" | |
| Why does most new music suck? I should add that if there's a band that's timeless, it's the Beatles. | |
| Why does most new music suck? Cal, I don't listen to Zeppelin anymore either, but I do put on the Beatles. Doesn't make me feel cool, though. Or nostalgic. They're just good. | |
| Class A Watts However, there are A/B amps with no switching distortion and much quicker than lots of class A amps. Just because it's class A doesn't mean it's better than any other topology. Conceptually, it is ideal with regards to this issue. As far as tubes ... | |
| Why does most new music suck? Subject matter hasn't changed one iota from ancient times to classical to modern. Don't know what you're talking about. Revolutions bring new, but similar subject matter."There is nothing new under the sun", to quote one of the best known phrases ... | |
| Why does most new music suck? So it's like Actusreus said then? Cuz I sure don't remember a willingness to explore being a prerequisite 40 years ago. It just happened. Ever heard of fruition? Why shouldn't everything come together and happen at the same time? It happened that ... |
