"Reference" SS vs"Reference" Tube

Audiophile36 Everyone has different preferences in thier music, so the things I think sound great might sound lousy to another listener.

The person who loves the sound of a violin might love one system, or pair of speakers, when the person who is a drummer might despise the sound of the same system, because it does not reproduce the drums accurately. Listener #1 might say system 2 sounds good, but the midrange is not quite as _________(fill in the superlative) as it should be!

See if you can find J. Gordon Holt's article; "Why Hifi Experts Disagree." It is very insightful.

Neither system is wrong, people have different priorities. So far I have found that only my system is right. In part due to the racoon!

I wondered that too, notes stereophile's separate categories for Class A power amplifiers. It seems backwards to me. I would think class B, C, and D glass and sand amps would sound more different than Class A ones. But they only separate the Class A ones. Maybe it's just you and me Nrchy.
