Mike McKelvy has now endorsed WAVAC ampliers for those people who like
tube amplifiers and have the wherewithal to purchase them. Not only are they selling for half of his stated idea of their cost, he says that they are like every tube amp he's ever heard, only more so, and he has found tube amps to offer a significant difference over the standard SS amp. And since he's now on record as saying that you don't even have to listen to them and that you don't need a dbt or abx trial to confidently choose them, you can feel confident that they will offer you the ultimate in tube amplification. |

Please provide the quote for that. I have said many times that tube amps can and sometimes obvioulsly do sound different from SS, SET's being the prime example. And since he's now on record as saying that you don't even have to listen to them and that you don't need a dbt or abx trial to confidently choose them, you can feel confident that they will offer you the ultimate in tube amplification. You should work for Atkinson, neither of you seems to be able to tell the truth. |

You also said this: "I have listened to tube amps before, all of them measured better than the WAVAC. All of them sounded worse that any SS amp I've ever heard.." If by worse, you didn't mean different, then you might wish to explain...

You should work for Atkinson, neither of you seems to be able to tell the truth. I would suggest that Mr. Atkinson might find this libelous. BTW, are you now saying that you DO need to perform a dbt or abx trial? Which is it, Mr. McKelvy? You seem completely confused at this moment. |

Since both of you have a habit of distorting what other people say, I doubt it. BTW, are you now saying that you DO need to perform a dbt or abx trial? Which is it, Mr. McKelvy? You seem completely confused at this moment. The only one confused is you. I've stated many times when an ABX comparison is useful. For something like the WAVAC it would not be, since given how it measures, you'd have to be deaf not to notice how much different it sounds from regular amps. |

TSk, tsk, we must IMMEDIATELY order a test for Mikey, those pesky listener biases are taking over! |

And glad to see that you've let the magazines off the hook when it comes to dbts, since they're mostly unnecessary. |

Demonstrable for anyone who has seen the measurements. And glad to see that you've let the magazines off the hook when it comes to dbts, since they're mostly unnecessary. ONLY WHE THE DIFFERENCES AS MEASURABLE AS THOSE OF THE WAVAC. FOR SUBTLE DIFFERENCE A MORE SENSITIVE FORM OF COMPARISON IS NEEDED. |
