These ratios are referred to 1W into 8 ohms, ie, 2.83V. The audioband ratio is 85dB, ie, the level of random noise and power supply-rated spuriae is just below 0.02%. This is not audible.

No John, read what you said.Because if you don't do the tests, you won't know what the level of noise etc is.

According to your statement all you have to do is listen, 85dB inaudible noise is irrelevant. if you cant hear it then it doesn't matter. By your own rationale. plug it in, if you cant hear it then its's inaudible and doesn't matter therefore this 100k amp is worth the money. Make up your mind, you either test to the nth degree and present those figures, inaudible or not or just put it in the lounge room and turn it on and if it's inaudible it passes the stereophile advertiser test. Just buy test equipment that only goes to -90db just to be safe, thats where your tests should end. This is why I don't bother with anything you say anymore. I come here instead. I was a subscriber to stereophile for over 20 years. I don't know what a subscription to stereophile is worth these days but you have lost the last 5 years worth from me. It's just a pity that more manufacturers don't/won't send their equipment here to be tested. Very few have the spine to do it. Which lends me to believe that most of the high priced audio equipment designers are invertebrate's. I fail to see how some of them stand upright.
