In Reply to: Then why do you prefer the less accurate SS gear? posted by Don T on July 22, 2003 at 08:54:47:
"Since 'good' is a statement of your preferences I can only assume in assigning the rating of good to both amps you prefer colorations or the sound of the SS amp."I am not sure what you're saying here. I think you are saying I prefer the colorations of the "tube" amp to the sound of the solid-state amp. (The context could also mean "preferring colorations or sound of the SS amp over those of the tube amp.") Presuming my reading of this is correct, I guess I either perceive *less* colorations in the SET amp or am not as sensitive to colorations in the SET amp. I would like to think the prior case is the actual case, but I won't lose any sleep if it is the latter case.
"Accuracy is not a subjective evaluation"
It should not be, but I say it **is**... People tend to assign components with an "analytical" character as "accurate." (Or the pre-conceived notion that "accurate" *has* to be analytical in sonic character.) The problem is whenever a component is deemed to be "accurate," how do we really know it is truly the case? Great specs, possibly, but IMO established specifications have little correlation to real-world performance.
What is "accurate" to one person may be "sonically colored" to another. It all comes down the the adage, "Pick your poison."
