One Amp To ‘Rule’ Them All....

Is there one amplifier that everyone can agree on as a contemporary standard? An amplifier that can be considered a standard in both the studio and in a home stereo setup?

What one amplifier does everything very well and can be found in homes and in professional audio engineering environments?

What amp covers all the bases and gives you a glimpse into all qualities of fine musical reproduction?

...something Yamaha? ...something McIntosh?

If I had to pick only one it would be Henway.

"Is no one else alarmed that on the consumer side of things that there really are no standards?

Its all very, very subjective and arbitrary."

Really...

What righteous standards are you referring to for the non-consumer side of things?

Also how many commercial recording studios have you used/accessed?

As far as your very basic query goes (about amps) most of us "home" users do not require or want balanced runs, unlike the need for such in every recording studio I visited up until the late '80s.
