I have read about ’speed’ and ’timing’ in regard to components and could not get my head around what that meant. Probably neither are very good terms.

I’m a new audiophile with limited experience. But just last night I changed tubes in my AR LS-16 preamp with some tubes rodman99999 sent me to try out. My immediate impression was that everything sounded more laid back and the music did sound ’slower’ which I knew was not possible. It was really a shocking impression and I still don’t know how to describe it. Maybe it has to do with stridency. I don’t know.
The point being, I now have a understanding of what some folks might be trying to say and just don’t have good enough words to say it.
