Hopefully, if we can find the ad, it will answer that question. Can't imagine they'd do that without some sort of explanation. I'll start digging after dinner.

anyone can do that parlor trick by having a very conservative Spec on distortion.... an arbitrary number.
You have an amp of .01% and spec it at <.1% -- you can run several of them in series before you exceed .1% or what ever number(s) you want to play with.
But if you choose a spec that is at the threshold of detection, then you can dramatically show just how transparent it is by illustrating how many it will take to be able to hear any imperfections.

At that age he has to be bent, no way he's straight.
He's in a pram, with an adult diaper and a blankie. Orphans take turns emptying his drool buckets.
82 next week.

I was thinking thé same, especially the deaf part.....no wonder modern amps are indistinguishable from Pioneer SA-7700....🙄.
Dan.
indistinguishable
The thought of becoming Mr Steve's mugger, to wrench the lovely Hitachi 707/737 power devices out of his 7700, gives me goose bumps.

What parlor trick? I didn't say anything about any kind of tricks over even what they were trying to prove. That's what we're hoping the ad would finally resolve if it can be found.

SY is just trying to confuse the situation. I have inside info.
What "inside info" gave you "late 60s"? Whatever it was, it's not serving you very well.

Please quote me where I said such a thing. Your English comprehension skills seem to be at about a third grade level.

Hi Stuart,
Hi Richard,
I believe in doing the tiny detail stuff, and you are right. That makes all the difference in the world. You can usually measure the difference too. Normally in the residuals from a THD test. The numbers are small, but the change is not subtle when you are on your game. I think that most technical people know about that.

You really know how to crack a guy up!Usually on the back panel.

OK, I will accept that. I thought you were older.
There are a lot of things that you think beside my age that are erroneous.

You are right, but I did get something out of you, didn't I?
If you want to get excited about getting my age out of me, knock yourself out.
