i'll let rob answer mate....ROBERT!!!
Can someone what is cleverer than me explain in a couple of sentences how NO ONE is saying all amplifiers sound the same. This will help people understand that no one is saying this.
Why? I'm already fed up of reading mostly boring shite.i'll let rob answer mate....ROBERT!!!
What they are saying is that all amplifiers that sound the same sound the same. Amplifiers that sound different don't sound the same.
HTH
Excellent. Them thar 40.1s iz almost mine!What they are saying is that all amplifiers that sound the same sound the same. Amplifiers that sound different don't sound the same.
darryl,
I'm not saying some reckon all amplifiers sound the same, perhaps you're misrepresenting me by suggesting I am saying that?
Here is the exchange again. What am I missing, darryl?
I think one or two could confidently enter the international "Bore for your Country" competition.
Ah, starting to see you got it wrong then....you seem to be the only one who has misconstrued rob's previous posts.....i'm sure rob will clear it up.
Ah, starting to see you got it wrong then....
Neither of us have ever claimed that all amplifiers sound the same.
I regard many (though certainly not all) valve amplifiers as incompetent where the sole qualifier is transparency. Doesn't mean they can't reproduce thoroughly enjoyable music. I use and enjoy valve amplification myself sometimes but I'm not blind to the limitations.
Neither have I.
Christ knows what these folk have been reading!
what are you saying then brian?
Just saw your post before going.brian perhaps if you read this part of robert's post!!!
This is the crux. 'Subjectivists' appear to believe that all elephants are not equal. Why they want to demonstrate this by offering to tell the difference between a tiger and an elephant is the real mystery.Everything is an elephant other than those things which are not.
Still, who really cares eh? Just a few silly "gear infatuated" audiophiles indulging in "a giant orgy of wang measuring , sheldrake mysticism, voodoo, and distance reiki coupled with new age philosophical rambling" maybe.
But what do they matter?
Ok ta. So all amplifiers don't sound the same. However all those that measure the same do. Is that it? Sounds likely to me.
I'd argue those are far from the norm. If I pick ten albums at random from my library, all produced over the past decade I'll be lucky to find one that looks anything like that. Sure, there are some dreadful examples around but they aren't the norm IME.
