Hi, Yes indeed. I try to avoid it when ever possible. But everyone wants to know how something sounds. Fuzzy would be indistinct. Especially on voices. Black is a good description of a quiet amplifier. I figure based on my own data and system that it occurs in the -80-85 db range. That is part of the reason I won't post any projects until they get to that level. As opposed to "black", "dark" is usually referring to a lack of detail and usually a poor response in the mids and upper ranges.

Now for some fun.... I use the description of "like a 6 transistor radio" to describe really bad sound. Everyone seems to be able to figure that one out. Very Happy


Good Listening
Bruce
