In reply to:
The incessant repetition of myths doesn't make them true. The bright amp/warm amp nonsense never seems to die even when faced with facts such as Joe described. It's been over 15 years since the $200 Pioneer receiver couldn't be distinguished in the Stereo Review blind tests from among other units the $6,000 pair of tube amps(infuriating some audiophiles, of course). Other blind tests have had similar results, but some otherwise intelligent individuals stubbornly continue to insist that the emperor has clothes, the earth is flat, etc. Clean power is cheap these days and receivers/amps with audibly flat response and inaudibly low noise and distortion are available at low cost.
A clear case that ignorance is bliss! In that case, I would like to redirect you
HERE brutha! Have fun shopping!
