When is it coloration and how are we determining no coloration , Measurements or when it sounds boring .. ?
Any amp that renders recordings boring has distortion but not necessarily in tonality. There are also temporal distortions and those could be more serious to negatively impacting the realism of reproduction.

He only heard my small system...not the big one. I am waiting for my Aries Cerat Genus Integrated amp to go with the Kassandra Dac.
Weren't you using them at the Show ? heard speakers there sounded good ...

Which show?

Ah yes. I was reading your post wrong thinking you heard the setup at the show that is why i was wondering where. We managed a very good show sound. Like cooking it is hard to screw up when you use the best ingredients.
Hi, A.Wayne,
I'm not really sure what "boring" sounds like. I was responding to cawson@onetel's comment that an accurate amp was "boring". Otherwise, I consider transparency to be what's important if I'm trying to let the signature of a component, the coloration I like, to pass through to the speakers.
In the case of my preamp, it's signature is measured as having plenty of second harmonic distortion which is described as "fattening" up the sound. To my ears that euphonic distortion provides a richness of tone and sweetens the sound without creating a lush, syrupy mess. And why it's important that the power amp I use with that preamp doesn't add much of it's own coloration; it needs to be transparent. The result is that I hear wonderfully pleasing and realistic music played from four different sources.
I don't believe it's possible to have an absolutely perfect sound system without spending a whole lot of money on components and an acoustically engineered listening room. I also don't think it's possible to know exactly what the recording, mastering, and/or mixing engineer(s) heard so whether a stereo component is "accurate" is somewhat moot. In my opinion.
Regards,
Tom
