I still own a several SS amps: a Bryston 3B-SST, a Bryston B-60 integrated, and a pair of little Rotel monoblocks. If a tube design does not sound tubes I should clarify that what I mean is that I don't think my tube amps sound like the the usual stereotype of tube amps. But they don't sound like the SS amps I've heard, either. then you could cut the cost 1/20 and use some op amps and transistors. Thats the catch if you dont want the colouring then use modern components it's cheaper and more reliable and actually produces even better results . Better results for me means I enjoy listening to music played through the gear. http://www.stereophile.com/content/rogue-audio-m-180-monoblock-power-amplifier-measurements is this design really transparent ? or does it have a sonic signature . I would not even try with these distortion figures . The measurements bother me a bit, but I still prefer the sound to the better measuring gear I've had.

Well, there is a special form of the Gurk Effect whereby seeing the price tag of a piece of gear, or reading the review of it in an audiophile publication significantly affects what we hear :) Julf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=42050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98298 ___ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
