[QUOTE="Byrd2, post: 13739, member: 384"] Measurements are able to predict how an amplifier will perform .... Unfortunately there is obviously something wrong with the way in which we are measuring, because people still legitimatley hear a large difference between 2 amplifiers that have similar measurements. There is a certain amount of, shall we say pschology, involved with the way a large portion of the "audiophile" community percieves sound. To me these people are viewing the equipment as the instrument rather than the conduit through which the instrument is delivered. They listen to how an amplifier sounds, rather than how music sounds on a particular amplifier. There is a subtle, but significant difference between the two. The problem that I see with "voicing" or "tuning" an amplifier by ear (not that it is an illegitimate method) is that it is done within a specific system. That specific tuning will most likely not be suitable for another system. It would be best for those doing this kind of thing to provide details of the way in which this was done. The type of music, the equipment and of course the room. [/QUOTE]
