Default dB and others make Charlie Nudo look stupid...again

Another jewel that put Noodles in his place. Note that he was too
much of a coward to try to defend his faulty opinion, as can be seen
in that NG:

I'm not defending his philosophical point of view. However, the large
amounts of even-order harmonic distortion generated by SE amps might -- by
increasing waveform asymmetry -- increase apparent detail and enhance
imaging (by exaggerating interaural differences). snip


In short, Charlie Nudo "doesn't know what he doesn't know."

Addition of harmonic or inharmonic content in a music reproduction
chain is not acceptable for fidelity...period. The "tubeheads" just
don't get this. In a music "producer," such as electric organs,
guitars, etc., harmonic AND inharmonic addition in the amplification
chain is not only part and parcel of the instrument's tonal formant,
but is considered desirable if it yields a wanted sound effect.
Musical tonal production has nothing whatever to do with fidelity,
which is the goal of a high fidelity system.

The "detail" he refers to are probably harmonic artifacts that he
cannot hear with a good amplifier, and he mistakenly, through
ignorance, thinks the he's hearing more of the original performance as
recorded, when this is patently false.

The "soundstage" thing he refers to is simply a buzzword he picked up
off of some audiophool site, and he has no idea what it really means.

"Colorless" amps are best, no doubt, and low distortion speaker
systems are a must, but are tough to find. The lowest distortion (in
terms of harmonic and inharmonic distortion products) in the bass
range is still Paul Klipsch's 1940 Klipschorn design, although many
direct radiator composite coned systems have come close.

Example of a good, cheap "colorless" amp: Dave Hafler's DH-seires
MOSFETs....great amplification without the hype and price.
