Calm down guys... This could be an interesting question. Firstly I think nobody here had to pay more to have a triple darlington amplifier, also I think nobody lost SQ by using it. PG amps had won a lot of IASCA and EMMA trphys across the world. Seems the PG came alive again after AAMP.
Yeah man, we are all fans here, and I get your point, but actually this does not make all the stuff garbage nor special.
Then, I don't know what you consider mediocre, but if you had all this PG stuff you should know they did not stopped making great amps after ZPA. If you can't tell what speacial it has by yourself,you can take a look at professional reviews across the internet.
There is no miracle, and as a big part of american brands that changed your production to outside from USA seems that had some kind of problem, and lost a big part of their american consumers. By the other hand gained across the world.
Wich amplifiers do you like or consider to be good?
SS, PPI, Tru, Zed, US Amps, Zapco or Arc? Why?
By the way, PG just launched new Elites that has nothing but good parts (BurrBrown as used in some Zeds, Sanken as used in home audio...)

I was going to say as well that the new lines are worth checking out, but didn't think he would want to hear the fanboys opinion.

When people chime into a thread and don't have the education to answer the question, but make comments such as the one quoted above, there isn't a reason to come back here much. Fanboys are hard to deal with. I prefer rational and objective thinking.

I found a better and neutral explanation of the circuit by just googling it. The good and the bad aspects of it.

What a troll!

Its kryp not crypt dumbass!
We all could tell your a self righteous asshole within your first couple of posts! You had to search my posts from WAY back just to try and push a nerve button! :lol: lmao! FYI, my "crap" Orion NT amps sound better than anything youll ever own!
your lame as fuck Miss.fidelity,and not so smooth! take your sorry gay ass to another forum! :drool:

Have a nice day!

found it entertaining as well that he had to go back and dig up some dirt to make himself feel better. Wonder what we could dig up about him with such a nice attitude???

I too would love to hear more about smooth, who he is, and his past in audio and brands he likes as I am willing to bet if the details came out we would know who the true poser really is.... So far the best I could call you is a hater, but a hater of everything and everyone on here. Seems like he has alot of time on his hands to dig up dirt on people here but I am not suprised that he doesn't have many people that would want to be around him in real life. Shit if he is this annoying through a keyboard I would imagine he could cause anyone to want to cut out their own ear drums with a butter knife so they would not have to hear him.

Speaking of over rated amps... The Sony ES line of big red amps may have sounded decent, but the circuit boards were a freaking joke. I'd love to find one stupid cheap just to send to Erik to test though. Heh.

the old old gold ES amps were not all that shabby but they came/went pretty quick. Never was a big fan or the reds either and until this last year the explode line was the last thing I ever looked at with sony. I hear they are trying to get their 12v stuff back up to par now and hearing some good stuff.

I look at the Xplode line and the Kicker Comp line every time I get my oil changed at Wal-Mart. I don't take anything seriously that you can get at a store like that.
Being loud without good sound quality is pointless, but having good sound quality without being loud is also pointless.
