How much does power amplifier really matter comparing to other hi-fi components?
     Every component shares a slice of responsibility, when it comes to accurate sound reproduction (not to mention: room treatment).     ie: Picture all of your components (sources, cables, pre/power amps and speakers) as panes of glass, through ...

Loudest Sound Ever?

There us a Worldwide Panic on Availability of Vacuum Tubes
"Those who prefer what is imo unnaturally syrupy, boomy, bloated sound (or, as they might describe as "full") will have a problem.   :("        If the above opinion is meant to be a blanket indictment, of all that vacuum tube circuitry is capabl...
