[QUOTE="AV, post: 26977, member: 472"] Byrd, I don't know what to make of the word "blameless", my problem is that the definition is entirely based on specifications. The point I want to make is that you can design and build different amplifiers with "blameless" specifications and they will still sound different. I haven't tried (hopefully not ;D) but I'm convinced that it is possible to build a "blameless" amplifier that will sound horrible. Talking about changing the signature of equipment, it is possible to alter the perceived sound of an amplifier without changing the freq response curve in the audio range. Equalisation, according to me, suggest changing the amplitude of the signal at certain frequencies, to do that you need a filter and filters alter phase over a large freq range. Phase changes can ruin your soundstage, degrade SQ etc. I believe in flat freq response and may I say 'no' phase shift up to frequencies well beyond the audio range. [/QUOTE]
