use of ChatGPT for HIFI

As a casual user of AI. I have found its recommendations generally very good on sonic characteristics of equipment and general questions. But very bad at specific recommendations. It will often recommend the wrong piece of equipment... like I want a streamer and it recommends preamps or a mixture of different components. 

Now if you are loading full sets of your own data and carefully crafting queries... then that is a different thing.

You are definitely into some super sophisticated stuff.  A very interesting comment.

to quote, 

“provide better line matching voltages and to keep the coloring of the buffering / follower stage of the sound to match the 1947 Telefunken AT12.”

A 1947 Telefunken?  I have a bunch from the early 1960s

Hey, @emergingsoul  - Thanks. I have a typo in my comment. It's a 12AT7, not AT12.

As a follow-up, I previously went down the path of MELZ metal plate 6N8S tubes in both stages (before the adapters and tube changes to Telefunken and Sylvania) and the sound signature was a bit warmer, though not really improved. I also suspect with the mismatched output of the Freya+ and the inputs for the Tyrs (Why Schiit, why are they so far apart?), I might be able drive the Tyrs and downstream Magnepan 3.7is at higher volumes and lower distortion levels. My only concern is I'd be stripping what is happening with the Telefunken tubes and listening to my Tyrs alone. Anyone done this combo? At least Benchmark has a 30 day return policy if I buy it and it sounds awful.

It’s useful but you have to be careful with the data it returns. I’ve found it to be unreliable with certain details. For instance, I asked about a certain type of foam and it said it was closed cell but the foam was actually open cell. 

I found it especially interesting in evaluating blood test results.  Have to make sure I remain healthy to listen to music you know
