high power tube amps vs ss

Petepappp,
Audio and musical enjoyment is overwhelmingly subjective, people listen and either accept or reject.We just like what we like.This is why choices abound in all component catagories,something for everyone.

Wolf, I love you man! You always make me smile with your posts.

Somehow I just can't imagine an Almarg thread titled "Best Setting for 70/70 Feedback Control?"

"In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not." -- Albert Einstein

Al, kinda curious about the variable negative feedback switch you mentioned. Out of curiosity, if you were driving a speaker with a bumpy impedance curve, how much "smoothing" would be achieved if you used NF?? For example, if your speaker had a 20 ohm bump at 2K Hz, what would happen if you used the maximum amount of NF?

Another question out of curiosity. What is considered a large amount of NF? For example, my amp puts out a pretty typical 26db or so of gain, and uses about 12 db of NF. What does that mean in terms of magnitude, output smoothing of speakers with bumpy impedance loads and the introduction of TIM?

Thanks as usual.
