money =/= great sound

funny how when ever mgs4 yaps about sound, price is pretty much in the same sentence

and you took that discussion (which I provided many links) way out of context

after few hundred dollars you pretty much plateau'd in performance, just buying snake oil after

For some it might be enough to get few hundred dollar amp, it really depends on the usage. And I agree it is waste to put over 2k for amp unless its a tube amp. More expensive amps provide you extra features such as better room correction, sub eq and room correction, better headphone amps, more connections, more watts, better dacs and so on.

But it actually does. There is a HUGE diminishing return pass a few hundred, But it isnt snake oil.

WTB balanced xlr amp qq

paying for a cleaner signal at frequencies you cant hear and volume lvls you wouldn't use is paying for snake oil

Have you ever considered that some speakers might require more to be driven than others? And when you add 5 of them.. What happens?

duh how the fuck do you think they are designed

its called the law of diminishing returns for a reason. It applies to absolutely everything.


Compare the performance of a say a GTX 970 running Crysis 3 in 4K vs a multi-million dollar 10,000 GPU configured Pixar supercomputer renders CGI movies...

I remember before the PS4/X1 came out people actually though they'd be capable of running AVATAR CGI in real time the difference between Crysis 3 graphics and Avatar CGI is probably a factor of 100,000 in computing power.... but does it look 100,000 times more real? 10,000? 1000?

100? 10 maybe...

so

after 50 plus yrs of stereo amp design(one of the oldest circuits), putting a men in space, cellphones, laser technology, etc, etc

we still cant figure out how to make an efficient amp at reasonable price?

ok,


after few hundred dollars you pretty much plateau'd in performance

You don't appreciate the nuances of being an audiophile

Plus you're probably an amd user...
