I agree wholeheartedly. The obvious extension of that logic is that I won't tolerate moving to a measurably worse piece of equipment just because someone says it sounds 'better'. If it measures roughly as well then I'll give it a look, listen and think about it.

Digital amps in their current state [AFIAK] still have some serious issues with difficult loads, as well as other less important issues. Once that gets sorted out the concept has obvious benefits that can be realized.

There's always going to be someone blazing the trail, and often they end up face down with a back full of arrows. I prefer to follow at a safe distance....

I'm in the process of verifing the measurement results on my HT as well, so once that is done I'll post results/link.
