I've got >0.5K Lateral MOSFETs collecting dust, what's a guy gotta do.
(Hitachi, Exicon, Magnatecs, Lo-D, odder stuff, mostly TO3's)

Me like mechanical grounding of Gold-Klappe.
Ever heard the Apologues ? Don't know much of Mr. Georges Bernard, but i have great respect for Christian Yvon.
Loudspeaker biz wouldn't be the same now without the GM's.
Me like speed design of Mr. K Johnson's Spectral.


The World, according to Naah (aka JaccoVita, slender and very gracious whale):

GB - moderate thd, as long as it's long rise time and small bandwidth
US - moderate thd, as long as there's lotsa bass.
Oz - as long as it's ultra low thd. Up Yours, Mate, how does it sound ?
JP - as long as it's tube.
Kiwi- as long as it's really hot. Doesn't have to be complementary, why do you think i'm dating my sheep.

NL - as long as it's ultra linear, high bandwidth, and screaming highs. Think stepping into cat's alley, fully body rubbed with cream cheese.

The reason why a lot of people are having a problem with this is because they're simply audiophiles who are used to cloning Nelson Pass designs. That is what they're familiar with. They're not real engineers.

Once again, we are trying to clone a Goldmund Mimesis 9.2 amplifier here. Because of narrow mindedness, a lot of people want to change the circuit to what they're familiar with. In that case, please go build the boring $20 Nelson Pass amplifiers.

I am not sure whether I should laugh at this guy or what.

Very funny, but don't put me in the ultra low thd crowd.
My motto is "If it sounds good, it is good"

The guy has a point though. A lot of us whom frequent this section, are pretty blinded by the Pass stuff (yours truly included).

The real question to me is:

Is that a problem? 😀

speaking strictly for my self - I see no issue between Goldmund and Pass ;

first one is "just" another Hitachi app.note based amp , second one is fun&pleasure&knowledgegivingcreature ;

amps are irrelevant ; ppl are what's important

tnx to Pass - many of us ( me included or not , doesn't matter) became capable to construct and make our own "Goldmund like quality" amp.

being excited about "best sounding world's amp" is simply childish , in pejorative way of speaking .

just having an amp is waaaaaay down on my list of imperatives

maybe because I'm not an engineer ?

:rofl:

I read this thread:
http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/solid-state/174468-very-best-amplifier-i-have-ever-heard.html
I look at this website:
Nagys Audio - Company - Provider of High End Audio Interconnect Cables

A quote rumble in my head,
The Witness from the film.
This is to me is equivalent to the Holy Bible.
For all life situations I find an example in this film:

Bástya comrade (To Virág comrade):

"Modesty. Don't incense himself. Modesty.
It is the modesty if I like something in myself."
