I always remember an Class D amplifier that looked like a coffin The person was wanting ridiculous money for it A few years later I saw it being sold on eBay for a few hundred quid Remember the guy being very proud how well it measured Is this the thing that was posted on AoS a while ago? Guy was extremely proud of the casework. Everyone said that it looked fine for a casket containing ashes  |

As a fairly disinterested party and as someone who has never fought in the objectivist/subjectivist trenches, can I try to boil this whole thing down to basics?
Measurements will tell me that a piece of equipment should sound good. My ears will tell me if it actually does or not.

That’s a good summary, Paul.

Oh yes, I remember that awful thing. If I remember correctly, the amp design wasn't that special, based on a gainclone or similar?

It was an interesting experience, seeing something touted so much, and for such a high asking price, and eventually seeing it on Ebay for a pittance |

I reckon even if he sold it for a few hundred he still made a profit
