Ron’s New System

[hopkins]

He mentioned 1/2 dozen amps…
But I thought we were talking in the context of SET amps.


How would he be fooled?
- Few of the have measurements and distortion spectra, so there is no metrics and facts to fool him.
- Many people like the distortion, and are they all fooled too/as-well?


How is it a gimmick?
It is part of the design, and all amps have some distortion, so pick your spectral context.

I was referring to your comment that distortion could be perceived as more resolution (which you explain is "not necessarily right").

Saying this necessarily implies that you can make the difference between "real resolution" and "fake resolution". So if you can, why couldn't Ron? Think about it... It is simple logic!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the driver tubes are just as or even more influential than the cables. I think it’s a fairly common experience that we can change and sculpt the balance and overall performance a lot with the choice especially of nos 6SN7s.

Here's me comparing 6sn7 https://www.whatsbestforum.com/thre...ur-all-new-totl-horizon-dac.33950/post-762320

a old 1578 russian tube sounds nice made by melz or reflector.
