In Reply to: June Stereophile - anyone else have a problem with HR's Fern & Roby amp review? posted by stellavox on May 23, 2024 at 10:42:23:
I guess what really got to me was the "cognitive dissonance" that did - and does remain.
Long-term S'phile readers that actually read/store/remember JA's ongoing measurement regimen do (have to?) become inured to seeing certain trends, creating a "norm" with which to compare future results, and then giving these new results a thumbs up (or down) based on OUR memories/interpretations.
In my book, 3 or 4 dB fluctuations from (especially) a frequency response "norm" should certainly be noticeable. BUT this is of course totally dependent on the music played. AND if this fluctuation happens to be in the bass region, a lot of guys whose subwoofers are already turned up 3 or 4 db would be delighted.
In effect F&R has created an integrated amplifier with a phono section that includes a free, but non-defeatable tone control.
