The eagle has landed.This is one small step for amp, one giant leap for mankind.

It might be okay if we do a sacrificial burning of some kind thoughProbably yes. Like putting a new engine in an otherwise fully renovated old vintage car. But okay just to test it would be interesting in itself.
Hi,It shows how great the progress has been in electronic circuits design and manufacturing. Yes, it reminds me of my youth. No, I would not waste precious time listening to it. Thank you Amir for the beautiful test!
My Fisher integrated tube amp from 1964 was the last model they made before they went all solid state. It really performs quite well for what it is, and will even drive my large floor standers to a room filling volume.
I’m a little bit new to the measurement side of audio, but we always looked at the specs and then we went to audition.You know - audio systems in fact do not need distortion or sinad breaking numbers. It is just a number game here to let the show go on. With some experience, we know that 60dB is good enough and above 80dB it is really only number game. But this cannot be admitted, here.
Speakers and room acoustics are the only space for improvement, nowadays.
This. The space inside would allow for an amp, a streamer, even a HTPC.Would it be really naughty to take one of these amplifiers, gut it, insert a newer amp board and wire up to the nice beefy controls, maybe add bluetooth + rasp pi etc. This one is somewhat aesthetically pleasing, but there are some very nice looking ones with great feeling knobs and switches, I don't know how many remain affordable though.
Haha but only after the noise and distortion is gone, which is the case, after it blew a fuseIt's ugly on the outside and the inside, and when you close your eyes it sounds like crap. Just kidding, it's just a faulty sample, another one would beat that Benchmark amp.
