Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?
One thing Peter Walker didn’t have the good sense to do was produce the Quads without that abominable looking and horrible sounding rattletrap of a metal grating on the front and back of the speakers. I mean, come on, people!  No wonder he thought...

Too bad De Forest’s hearing was shot by the time transistor radios came out. Otherwise he would have said, Yikes! Transistors suck!

I wrote the book on crystals. Oops, I forgot you can’t read. Never mind. 
Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?
You’re right, glubson. It is fun learning new things. But I like learning new things that are true. Not logical fallacies from newbies and wannabes. But that’s probably a difference between us, you know, just going by what you say.  
What is the most $ you have spent on vinyl?
The Beatles Butcher Block album sold for more than $6,000 on eBay last year. Somebody’s paying something. Sealed Beck Sea Change on Mo Fi, pink vinyl, currently listed for $500. Mo Fi Woodstock, $810.

How do you store and catalog your vinyl?
No I’m not saying that at all. But reflection doesn’t equate to diffusion. That’s is actually why I said they act as resonators, though. Everything in the room reflects. Also, even if the CDs were stored horizontally they would still reflect. But ... 
How do you store and catalog your vinyl?
But the collection of CDs in jewel cases is acting as a resonator, not a diffuser. Even if CDs are in paper cases the sound in the room will be better if vertically stored. Same with all media, even videos and books. See where I’m going with this? 😬 
How do you store and catalog your vinyl?
Where the collection of CDs is placed in the room affects the sound, too. Moving the CD collection from one location to another location several feet away can sometimes make all the difference. And paper CD cases sound better than standard plastic...

Well, if dale is going to see them they must be big. I didn’t realize Bachman Turner Overdrive was still performing.

Are you channeling the dude from Taxi Driver now?  If so you’re good!

Geez, glupson, all my LOLs are turning to WTFs.

All the important music ever made was recorded and mastered with tubes. By logical deduction all the unimportant music ever made was recorded and mastered using transistors.
