Re: Another Sample Of An Audio Component That Doesn't Measure Well, But Sounds Great.

I think you have this back-to-front. Firstly, engineers in something other than very small companies do not sell, marketing people sell. Secondly, amplifiers with very small distortion figures on their specification sheet used to be produced because a significant proportion of the public was basing their purchasing decisions on the difference between 0.0005% and 0.001%. I can see no large difference in the consuming audiophiles responses today although, as you mention, the supplying audiophile industry is rather different.
