Thanks for the extra information Eric, especially in your notes. I see now how significance was determined. There are indeed some significant findings!
THank you for this.
But why no BHSE in the comparison? This is the reigning 'champ' when paired with the SR-009… so it would have been important to include it.
only an Electra, an RKV-Wee and a SRM 727 and SRM 007t amp were compared
There's the problem.....
A KGSS, KGSSHV, KGBH, BHSE, DIYT2, or even a Transistoramp Mk3 or 4 would have trumped that lot.
.....
To improve your combo EC445 / Wee it would be better to remove the output transformers step-down from 445 amp to operate in OTL mode, and replace the step-up transformers 1:50 of the Wee by the step-up transformers 1:5.9 of better quality (like that of the Verto) with lower ratio of voltage amplification, which can only be beneficial to the sound quality.
... and then remove all the internals of the EC445 and place a RKV mkII into the empty chassis... then say "Audiovalve, you are my master and I love thee", three times in the mirror.. swallow the red pill... and voila... you are part of an elite group of audiophiles fighting the "man"....
