Can someone please tell me whether discrete improves the sound?
I assume ATC would not be using them in their top product in preference to op - amps if such was not the case.
I accept that it may just be a marketing ploy at the request of their overseas customers but as far as I am aware ATC are not renowned for pandering to the crowd.
If discrete does improve the sound it appears logical that others will follow unless they can produce a better sound with op - amps?
Answers in words of one syllable, please, for my benefit.
