RE: You have Proved a Point

Wrong point.

I was proving that the same amp board (apples-2-apples comparison) can be worsened by expensive inhouse subjective "improvements".

I also added a newer chart which shows the Benchmark AHB2 has fallen 7dB behind the current chart leader.

As for boring, subjective opinions vary. A clean amp can always have distortion added to it after the fact to season to individual taste.

Why taint the entire kettle of soup when only a few like the seasoning du jour ?
