| Stillpoints - snake oil? Fear and loathing wouldn’t have been funny. Never mind. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Can’t see de forest for de trees. 😛 | |
| I need your help. I have an ARC Ref 3, ARC 110, Vandersteen 5As, but no turntable. And also in the right direction. You know, especially since it’s the most important cable. | |
| Is there actually a difference? Drumb and Drumber | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Look, tubes sound like music. Everything else doesn’t. Unless it’s very low power transistors in portable CD players. Then it sounds like tubes, not transistors. If in fact portable CD players have transistors and not tiny little tubes. Tubes have... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Glubson, you’re absolutely right. It’s obviously a conspiracy. | |
| What were your humble beginnings on the path to high end audio? Prototype David Berning push pull tube amp, Rogers LS3/5a, Promethean modded Grado cartridge, British tonearm, Denon turntable, tonearm survival kit, oil in sardine can tonearm damper. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Actually, digital is generally more compressed than vinyl. The technical advantages of digital are theoretical only these days. Take a gander at the Official Dynamic Range Database sometime. Even hi res downloads are compressed. Read em and weep. 😢 | |
| Is there actually a difference? He said transfer function. Tee hee | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Did they give a bus driver uniform to wear? | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Sorry, pal, you’re wrong. I was on the ARINC team that decided who won the $2 billion contract for the new radios. That was 1989. They went with US Air Force radios. I’m talking about the radios at all the centers. Try to pay attention. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? The Federal Aviation Administration mandated tube radios for air to ground communications be switched out for solid state radios back in the 80s. When the new solid state radios were finally implemented at all the centers, pilots and air traffic c... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? There would not have been a golden age of classical music, either. | |
| Stillpoints - snake oil? Whoa! | |
| What is the epic song of a group? Ten Years After’s I’m Going Home at Woodstock is even more epic coming in at 11:24 on Youtube. Maybe the most epic of them all. Excellent sound quality. Headphones are recommended.https://youtu.be/bW5M5xljdCI |
