I think this is one of those cases where intuition has little to do with electronic reality. "Dynamics" or "transients" as musical...

Again: the same "magic" that makes you follow a narrow strip of asphalt for miles instead of driving into the first tree you see on...

Just as well one might ask, "are all Youtube thumbnails clickbait?"

I'm sure Topping's competitors have already done that. For anyone who doesn't stand to profit from playing the specmanship game, the...

There are no inherent sonic differences between Amplifier classes. A competently designed Class A/AB/B/D/X Amp will sound like a...

More to the point - if THD doesn't change then nor will IMD. Whether it is high or low, if it is the same with two different op amps...

While personally I have nothing against a well-defined and perhaps automated panel of tests that includes various IMD metrics (but I...

If you've got the money to spare it won't hurt. Something like the Topping L50 might be a good choice to run them off the TRS outputs of...

To add to my post, considering this guy is explicitly discussing bad electrical performance, if all that test equipment was more than...

Well, when someone talks about "time smearing" with respect to clock jitter, that is already a powerful tell someone is either a...

An audio youtuber hollering about something with zero evidence to back his claims really does not rise to the level of something to be...

Yeah this seems like a central point of confusion for a lot of folks. An op-amp's "perspective" on music is extremely limited - it does...

I often wonder when people make comments like this (swapping opamp changes "sound stage size, layering, placement, decay structure...

You are correct in that it won't change the FR, though you will lose some output level to the output resistors. If you're not intending...

Huh? What are you using that op-amp for? If there's frequency peaking that sounds like an op-amp that's very marginally stable at best.
