| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? mapman,"...know-it-all GK,..."No. He does not know if it is better to put oregano directly on dough, on sauce, or on top of all the pizza ingredients.To his defense, nobody on Audiogon has ever answered that question. Any old Amish recipe for oreg... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? geoffkait,"I’m pretty sure in real life he’s a priest or bishop or something."Everybody is "something" so you are somewhat right about me.If you are talking about my profession, I am neither a priest, nor a bishop. I do, at times, have to act in t... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Huh, guys, thanks for compliments. I am not sure that I am that righteous, but the bar is not set that high so I am not too bad. More like a dive bar, I would say. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? geoffkait,"I must leave now!"Any chance you will keep your word this time? | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? mapman,I do not mind geoffkait trashing me at all. It goes well with my kindergarten training. Been there, done that. At some point, I had to give a lecture to 147 3-5 year olds. Talk about having a stage fright for a week prior to that. geoffkait... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? "What's the problem with changing tubes ?"Not much, if someone prefers it to some other activities. However, needing to do it makes some users less inclined to support that technology when there is another, more convenient, option which still work... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? dave_b,Loudness button reminded me of my intermittent and unnoticed questions on these threads. People get into fierce arguments about tinniest pieces (for example, fuses), or directionality of wire, or taking covers off the component. They argue ... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? geoffkait,Prove what? Well, whatever it is, no need for me to prove it. Time will tell. You can jump on board now and later pretend you were avantgarde. Tickets are free. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? geoffkait,I did come out and mentioned it many times, but you never read past "My understanding is..." so you did not drink from this well of wisdom I have been selflessly opening for you.Now, just so you do not say I have not told you, appearance... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Class A also consistently sounds more pleasing to me. I would not dare to say it is more natural, believable, or something like that, but it does tickle me right. So does "loudness" button more often than not, I sheepishly admit. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? That is what I, kind of, thought, too. The point between tubes and SS ends up being no point at all, if we are trying to reproduce the actual live event. Too many other variables get involved. To start, unless it is classical music, even "acoustic... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? geoffkait,"Famous Autistic People...….Hans Christian Andersen"Who diagnosed him?In school, or was it kindergarten, we learned that he had liver cancer. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? elizabeth,Hold on to your cars. You surely know that they don't make them like that anymore. As it is now, tubes will outlive manual transmissions. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? I am sitting and listening to a live CD (Leonard Cohen, Can’t Forget: A Souvenir Of A Grand Tour. track 4 La Manic) wondering about this tube/transistor debate. What do sound systems at relatively large concerts use? Is it tubes? Is it solid state... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers I would like to point out that Evolution AV was an unusually low-pressure and friendly environment. They, pretty much, left me in the room with iPad (Tidal control), offered to come back once I needed them, and closed the door. It was not abandoni... |
