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: Article: 333280 of rec.antiques.radio+phono From: DeserTBoB Subject: Push Pull Audio Date: Tue, 25 Apr 2006 08:19:27 -0700 Message-ID: References: .com om .com On Tue, 25 Apr 2006 04:31:55 -0700, "William Sommerwerck" wrote: if it wasn't for the soundstage and detail advantage of tube amps, there's no reason to listen to tubes! 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. |
