Anyone enjoy their amp's sound more than music?

How is that possible?

Gear is just the means to the end (hearing music accurately reproduced).

Not that the gear itself can't be fun, mind you. But it's not the main point, or at least should not be IMO.

Rodman99999, what values & where/how r the D's being used? On a breaker panel? Neutral to ground? Any clarification is appreciated....

Thanx

I suppose that some people listen to the gear in the sense that, in some cases, the journey is more important than the destination.

Personally, I like listening to music. When it is played through a system with good synergy, the music moves me and eases my soul. Generally speaking, if I'm listening to the gear, it's because something isn't right. When all is right, all I'm hearing is the music.

Hello Mr R- I'm using them as coupling caps, from the plates of my dual triode driver tube, to the output tube grids(one per phase). They are .22uF/630V(in my Cary mains). A side note: It's said that the CAST/stacked construction(of the Deulands) obviates the need to orient(what would be) the outer foil lead, toward the lower impedence, for least noise. I tested mine(before installation) and there was a marked difference in noise levels, when leads were swapped to ground. My apologies, if we are seen as hijacking this thread.
