| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D 10-23-13: TubegrooverSorry for the loss of your grandfather Melbguy1. Thank you for your kindness. Also this will be my last post on this forum as I have decided to cancel my membership effective immediately. | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Charles, I don't share your view that Wolf thought I was "kidding around". He is an adult. He made a choice and knew exactly what he was saying. Only a sick individual makes fun of someone's grief.Thanks tube for your condolences. | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D I just wanted other members to know what Wolf_garcia is really like and to not be fooled by him. I contacted him privately to explain my recent behavior in this thread, and pleaded with him to lay off me as I have been under a lot of stress after ... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D I became sarcastic only after being incited because of my stated preference toward SS gear in a thread heavily defended by tube guys. People know they can push my buttons and incite this kind of reaction in me our of sheer frustration, that's why ... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Frogman, for someone accusing me of being sarcastic, you did a pretty good Pearl Harbor job. | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Jwn, given the level of your system I expected you to exhibit more maturity than chiming in with the sole motivation of inciting a flame thread. And no I refuse to bite. | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Snopro, yeah all i'm essentially saying is, for me there was life after tubes. I really didn't think i'd find an amp which had all the desirable qualities of a high end SS amp as well as valve amp, and yet be so beguiling and musical. I have owned... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Snopro, my earlier comment was in response to what I saw as a ridiculously biased comment which lacked objectivity by Wolf_Garcia, nothing to do with the OP's original comments. It's straight forward really, Charles took issue with me (and not for... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Wolf, i'll take flack as good as I give it, so i'll let you "mirthless" comment go through to the keeper. But is your opening statement meant to be ironic? "All SS amps (other than hybrids) are 100% guaranteed to not use tubes. They excell at that... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D Charles, I think it's time to stop playing cop on this forum . If you want to be a moderator, nominate to be one, otherwise leave members to participate freely in this forum. If Wolf_garcia wants to express a view on SS vs Tube amps, so too should... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D I find it amusing when tube guys bang on about how much "fun" they have stuffing around checking tube hours and rolling tubes to get better performance. Audiophiles who buy SS amps which offer similarly rich, holographic sound as the best tube gea... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Goodness Mulveling, you weren't the only one to pile on the S5's. That was a group punch on! Moving forward, i'm pleased you gave this series a second chance. As I said in an earlier post "I am not sure which amps you heard those S5's with? howeve... | |
| Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D I have owned two tube cd players including my previous modded Ayon CD-5s which I used as linestage paired with a Boulder 1060. I also rolled the factory tubes with NOS mil-spec tubes. Tubes certainly provide midrange lushness, sound holographic &a... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Another point to add is, whilst the S5 is transparent sounding. It is also a bit forgiving (certainly more so than the Q3) of less than reference sources and recordings which is a plus. If anything, running high end ribbons or ESL's would demand e... | |
| Magico S5 vs Tannoy Westminster Royal SE I think you may have missed my point Kiddman, I was simply saying the S5's are transparent and revealing of upstream equipment, therefore time should be taken auditioning different amps to see what has good synergy to your ears. Obviously most goo... |
