Classical, Spanish & South American Guitar Jewels
Tostados, I guess I am deprived. I live in Houston, and amplification is usually used to augment the sound; invariably used in large venues where the big names tend to play. It's not intrusive, but they certainly don't use tube amps, and it's not ...

I agree with Tostados' preference for Fleta over Smallman. But how often do you get to hear a master play in a small room without amplification? (answer: virtually never.) The modern "loud" guitars (e.g. Smallman) don't seem to have quite the same... 
Why do designers/manufacturers...?

Is DEQX a game changer?
sorry, didn't see the response above to this ? 
Is DEQX a game changer?
isn't DEQX only for digital sources? Would anyone choose to use it in an otherwise analogue vinyl setup? 
Who believes that Robert Plant
not even in the running. 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Is deqx only for digital? Does anyone use one in an all-analogue signal chain? 
Adding a second MC275 VI, is it worth it?
I doubt that "someone in the industry" is correct. The extra reserves just don't come into play at low volume. In fact, the opposite is more likely true. A lower powered amp will be operating in its comfort zone, and many audiophiles believe that ...
