I’m not into rock music and rarely played my system loud. I had used an Exposure amp before to play all other genres of music at moderate level and here’s where I opined that the T-amp (at least my very own version with a step attenuator) beats the Exposure amp at the resolving ability department. A lot of other commercial amps tend to sound coarse (or noisy) when complex music like Mahler’s Symphonies or multiple voices are played and that’s reason why certain audiophiles only go for closed-mic single vocalist or simple solo acoustic pieces. Remember some who only listened to CaiQin and other 'slow-slow' type of music? Owners of T-amps need not restrict their music to such unless of course they themselves so choose to.
