As per, a scan of most reviewing sites shows that most have AB amps as their references and yet most people claim pure Class A as superior. Who's right and why?

Not sure about that. The 35i has crystal pure clarity, bass slam that would put Thor's hammer to shame and is as fast as a Whippet on Speed. *dirol* (shame it's been discontinued *sad*).

Now now boys, no point in arguing over imagined characteristics. :O)

To know that for sure, you need to have heard one.

Nope. Only the ability to recognise meaningless waffle is required. The speed of an amplifier indeed. What twaddle.

It's down to transient response and damping factor.

So a valve amplifier that isn't good at high frequencies and has a low damping factor must sound terribly slow to you.

A badly designed Valve amp can sound slow, dark and bloated, wheras a well designed one will sound great....they live or die by their power supplies.

You see, that's where you and I differ. If I know nothing about a subject I don't mention it. You just keep waffling on, making stuff up.

The difference between you and I, is much more fundamental and deeper than that.

Go on Trev, leave TrollC in his box for once and try posting something positive, polite and approving....I dare you.
You might explode, but it'll be worth it, just for the shock value.
I'm always polite, except for the times my meter hits the end stops. You trigger it repeatedly.

I'll take the bomb squad off standby.
As you were.
