OK, listen, I don't want to argue with JohnK or anyone who knows all there is to know about these matters. Suffice it to say, that although JohnK states his opinion with unqualified authority, there are many, that is MANY, respected reviewers and people whose professional lives are dedicated to the world of audiophile electronic music reproduction, who would not only disagree with JohnK, but laugh loudly at the arrogant presumption of anyone who does not trust his or other people's experiences which conflict with his belief. Yes, that's right, JohnK's authoritative statement that all amps sound the same, have no effect on soundstage, etc., are his opinions, no matter how strongly or states them and no matter how vigorously he attacks any conflicting opinions.
Just because there is a chorus on this board of folks who agree with this idiosyncratic BELIEF, does not make this position correct.
For those who have heard the differences between well made amplifiers, don't be discouraged from speaking by the loudly trumpeted opinions to the contrary of some on this board.
There is no dogma which members of this board must accept. JohnK, believe what you like. It's a free country, and you're entitled to your OPINIONS, like anyone else.
