Default The Old "Feedback Is Bad" Lie

In the past we were told that negative feedback in an amplifier (power
amplifier) was bad. I believe the old charge was that it produced
excessive "transient intermodulation distortion."

Can someone please explain, using as much engineering-speak as necessary
(i.e., don't sugar-coat it - assume an audience of electrical engineers)
what this was all about?


It was about a bunch of idiots talking nonsense. Their success in talking
nonsense was so fantastic that they finally progressed to suggesting that
sound quality can be improved by having a digital clock on the same circuit
as your amplifier and lying rocks on your cables ( Tice Clock and Shakti
Stones).

The vast majority of commentators on audio matters are completely
technically incompetent.
