[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 145908, member: 30"] Re: Damping Factor - Actual listening tests? What I find funny in that, is that the amp series with one of the worst slew rates ever, is/was the most respected and rider accepted amp. The Crown MA series. You don't see them in studios, but if slew rate was something to be concerned with, this amp should be at the bottom of everybodys list. Of course we could also talk about distortion. OH 0.001 is much less distortion than 0,01% Never mind the fact that most people can't even recognize/hear distortion until it get well past 1%. But they "think" it will sound better with lower distortion. Technically they are correct-but it makes no difference in the end. We can measure all kinds of things our ears cannot hear. And if you think you ears are hearing something "that can't be measured", then you are measuring the WRONG thing. WAY to many people think a 1/3rd RTA will tell them everything they need to know about a piece of gear-WRONG! Getting off soap box now. [/QUOTE]
