It doesn't. The moron who copied the design made a huge error in cheapening things. To be fair, there was a major design idiocy in the original which clearly the copier didn't understand, and he made it much, much worse.I would be surprised if the Audio Research LR LS22 preamplifier that this is based on measured this badly.
Why is there no problem with the other test? Or is the machine Amir tested a faulty one。I had no problem duplicating Amir's results. The design has a major flaw.
If you mean the "Skunkie" test, he used a different version and reduced output. Performance was still quite poor.Why is there no problem with the other test?
This "effect" is a source of never-ending amusement (and bemusement) for me when it comes to the proliferation of inexpensive "clones" that are all the rage in certain circles. Y'all've seen them, right? There's a "Marantz 7" preamp clone, an "EAR" phono preamp clone, a "darTZeel" amplifier clone, etc.It doesn't.

It's pretty, though.
But clone sounds kind of genetic, and throws open the door for inaccurate duplicationThis "effect" is a source of never-ending amusement (and bemusement) for me when it comes to the proliferation of "clones" that are all the rage in certain circles.

Perhaps my life scientist roots show when I suspect that all of these might fail to meet expectations for a clone.
We have a term for those, too, you know?But clone sounds kind of genetic, and throws open the door for inaccurate duplication
RUN!!!!!We have a term for those, too, you know?
Mutant.
Your vid doesn't work; but what do you see that makes you think the testing is faulty?Does no one suspect that there was a problem with the Amir test or that the machine itself malfunctioned? Please take another test:
Lots of these clones "economize" to an excessive degree. And I really think a lot of modern tube gear is made to purposely sound "tubey", for those customers under the impression that tubes contribute some desirable sound of their own.I would be surprised if the Audio Research LR LS22 preamplifier that this is based on measured this badly. If I were considering this preamp I would expect to duplicate the AR preamps as closely as possible.
如果你指的是“Skunkie”测试,他使用了不同的版本并减少了输出。性能仍然很差。
这里测试中使用的“机器”并没有像设计所表明的那样运行:无能。
My apologies, my Chinese is not to the level of your English.是的,我也在用另一个版本,但是体积和一些电容不同。其他一切都一样。音质不错,至少听不到破音。但是,电子管机都有这个性能,是晶体管机无法比拟的。谢谢你!
Hah!I think he is saying it is extremely difficult to make a transistor based device sound as awful as tubes, but with perseverance…

I am sure you are right but my one experience ( with valves) left a deep scar, after a time I came to the conclusion, why bother.Hah!
The sad thing is that one can get excellent performance from tubes, but it takes actual engineering rather than cut'n'paste from a poor design (the Audio Research) to make something even worse.
Like I said earlier, I think an awful lot of modern tube stuff is designed to sound "tubey", so people think they're getting their money's worth.I am sure you are right but my one experience ( with valves) left a deep scar, after a time I came to the conclusion, why bother.
