Well, I definitely have my own opinion about the whole digital thingy. After all, listened to most of them and even bought and sold a few just to get a feeling.
Yes, I think that even at its stage now our amp will do very well when compared to others, but there is still the one issue that I have:
Everything, 100 % everything that I do has to do with wholehearted and complete emotional orgasms. It has to have soul, and the correct richness and bloom in harmonics, overtones and undertones. And it's simply not there yet, that easy.
Yep, I can offer the amp tomorrow, people will probably go nuts over it, and I can make some $, but man, I'd like to get that extra inch or two !!!!
I know that nobody wants to admit one way or the other that emotions / soul / whatever you call it / takes a back seat in their system or listening preference. Of course not, and to be absolutely correct, yes, digital systems do channel emotions, of course. How can you not be moved when listening to your favorite music even through a boombox? That's not the issue here, and only when you get deep into the trenches you know. There are so many people here and in other forums that go so completely nuts and absolute about their systems and components, and when you dig a bit deeper, you realize that they are opinion driven by peers or only had exposure to a few different systems in their lifetimes. No, not listening to gear at shows or dealers, that doesn't help you at all, but instead live with it for a while and see if you can take your thoughts of the gear and really , freely listen to your system, with components a, b, c, d, e... doing the synergy thingy.
Anyway, lastly, there is a delay because I'm not a designer. I trust and rely on the people that I work with, but that also means that it goes a bit slower than I want to.
Remember the good thing and wait thingy,
