In the Thread: Devid Berning amplifiers: the anti-trnsformers frenzy?
Post Subject: Everything and morePosted by Paul S on: 9/25/2007
Thanks for the extra information, Merlin, it tells much. Please re-read the post you took umbrage with and you will see that I said I took a guess about the circuit (once you confirmed the amp's identiy), and I did not say that I guessed the make and model of the amp [from your teasers]. And I don't get this: Did you expect me able to identify your amp from your teasers and also display solid technical understanding of the amp for you, given that my experience with it is hearing it twice? Or are you saying that if I understood it better technically I would have heard it differently? I don't understand.
FWIW, I really don't care specifically about OPT or OTL, size, weight, color, theory, etc. PER SE, with respect to hi-fi gear, and therefore I have no reason to resist new ideas, per se. I may be lazy and cynical in my own right, but truly, I am not "invested". I only keep track of tech information to further my own personal ends, and I air my thoughts just to share ideas and get some feedback and perhaps some fellowship.
In fact, if I heard the Siegfried again and thought differently I could just up and get one with no inner sense that I was violating any personal creedo. You could say, I told you so, and I would say, sure did.
I am comfortable with your stated preference for the Siegfried over the ML2, and it is easy for me, especially now, to accept as a given that you have heard both and then chosen as you did. I wish you had been as forthcoming earlier; but this has been a fun thread, after all.
Bet good money that I will walk a mile to hear the Siegfreid again if the chance presents itself.
