| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. 6chac:1.Where one can not say, it is best to remain silent. That seems to have escaped your long response, all the while you claim that one can not say. That is delusiuonal, or if volitional, inauthentic.2. There is a difference between claiming t... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. "Cleanest", "silky clean", qualities of space to be measured "technically" only in terms of diminishing distortion...yes, if these are the values you adhere to, or your bias in seeing sound, then follow Muralman and get a SS amp...But, I believe t... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Mural, just re-read my post and sounds a bit snotty to you. That's not how I meant it, just tired with a bad cold today and too tired to re-do it. | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. 6chac, don't be a pest. If you have an opinion that is contrary to someone else's, state it with reasons. When you just say someone is wrong, over and over, it just makes me think you don't know why but want to make us think that you do, as if dis... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Kevziek, I'm glad that we all (er, mostly me...) didn't scare you off your own thread!On transients, yes, I couldn't say it any better. That's exactly it. I only used "dryness" because I didn't want to go into too much description when I was using... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Zaike, yes, kill the Buddha if you see him on the road, to Damascus or anywhere else, so to speak. Objectively, with the active mind, you can only know a fraction of it, one fraction at a time (or through putting the fractions back together). Subj... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. 6chac: Run, but not before you too, say something? Maybe I just didn't get it (although I liked it). Were you refering to the fact that this thread seems to be highjacked and there is no hope and, God, please, no more, and...Whatever the reference... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. You know, I know that I can shoot the wind with the best of them, but having dialogue, at all varying levels of (so-called) cognitive sophistication, is good. I try not to obfuscate, but realize that there are also some people out there who will c... | |
| Speaker priority: high or low??? It really depends on where you are in your system evolution. If a person is just starting out, then money loaded into speakers encourages him/her the most, because where that person is at, that expenditure is usually seen as 1) economically justif... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Jetter, I wrote that when I was drunk! Sincerest apologies. I regret every word, just ignore it. Oh my God, what will happen to us if we read such things!!Pass another cold one... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. On Pass. I like it: had a 30 for about a year, and have recommended it to some people in the past. Ono was nice, etc. and were very similar in sound. Like it more than almost all other SS.Yes, the SE topology, assuming that's the factor, does make... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Thank you all for your comments. Even though we disagree, lots of smart people with measured responses. Isn't that nice? You know, not so, er, "unilateral".twl, thank you for pointing out the inherent flaws in relying completely on empiric evidenc... | |
| Tubes Do It -- Transistors Don't. Convenience, cost, etc. are valid reasons for choosing anything over something else - I do it all the time myself -but have no validity when discusing absolute quality, or rather, the closest to absolute than we can presently percieve and/or repli... | |
| Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting? 20% off is not insulting, but depending on the circumstances it could be naive - which, of course, doesn't warrant a smack. With that said, last week I put up for sale a very hot item NIB OBO at what would be market price for used ($700). Even giv... | |
| Would you cancel 3,250 deal cause 16 short? Nope, wrong guy. Geez, how many irascible-cable-loving-German-Ph.d's are there out roaming the audiogon countryside? Do a probability analysis on that one... |
