I asked Sheinman to comment on the Gearbox Audio Note system—see the components list, below. "I believe in low-powered, low-distortion, class-A amplification feeding highly sensitive and efficient speakers," he replied. "This way, one gets less distortion and a purer sound. We can resolve to 0.5dB with our equipment, across the frequency spectrum."
