What class of amplifier has the most high definition sound ?
I can't believe no one got that.......Oz Heh, I got it.....dilly dilly. My CD player says on the front :"vacuum tube reference CD player" but I don't know what the reference was. I sometimes listen to it , though. 
My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer.
I especially like your blanket recommendation to just get some vintage small signal tubes and you wont need tone controls (thats exactly what they are). How do you know this? How do you know what sound the OP is looking for? What do you know abo...

"They" say that SET amplifiers are the best but since I have no experience with them I cannot confirm or deny it. But "they" say lots of things that may or may not be nebulous. In general I consider vacuum tube amps to be superior for audio reprod... 
My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer.
I’m afraid you misunderstood my post, maybe you should re-read it. I never said nor did I assert that components are equalizers. I said “tone controls” which was in response to your pretentious statement “my el34 amplifier has no tone controls” My... 
My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer.

Ah, I remember that one......sigh. Let's also include the original "It's a Beautiful Day" album and "The Jeff Beck Group" (Goin' Down) 
My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer.
equalizers are basically just segmented volume controls; very effective for burning out tweeters. 
How much power is too much power. how about 20,000 watts
At normal listening volume a typical amplifier only has to deliver ten or twelve watts to a reasonably efficient speaker; I've never had an amplifier rated at more than 100 watts RMS output; current tube amp is rated at half that and it's more tha... 
Which courier do you prefer?
USPS is underrated; they go everywhere every day; none of the others can say that 
My sacrilegeous question to audiophiles out there regarding parametric equalizer.
My EL34 powered amplifier has no tone controls. I would not personally use an equalizer......I consider it analogous to altering the colors of an original painting. But that’s just me. By the way, I currently use a 2M Bronze.Edit......if you don't... 
What makes a 20A IEC rated for 20 amps?
As far as I know, it's just the gauge of the cable itself; I have 15A and 20A IEC power cords and they look identical other than the thickness of the insulation which I assume indicated heavier gauge wire in the higher rated one.
