| That "tube sound" and power ratings Zd - thanks for this most helpful reply. I do understand the idea of "less bad" distortion at at or near clipping (I really do!), so it's not a missing piece if there was one. Rather you hit the nail on the head when you wrote "But I think it woul... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Zkzpb8 & Mapman - thanks!Almarg - very helpful, thanks! Yes, my post is focused narrowly on this one question, but I'm not. When I listen I listen for what pleases my ear. If this is one of the things that does or does not then I'll note that ... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Nice rant! | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Jmcgrogan2 - you missed the point of the rhetorical question. were you really laughing out loud? Swampwalker - define "appropriate"Zkzpb8 - you got the point of the non-rhetorical question. thank you and nice response!everyone else - i am listenin... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Thanks Mapman. Great response, but is it really true that "that's about it"? Maybe it is. I'm not so certain which is why I posted the question, and I think the only way to know is to hear your same opinion echoed by enough other tube enthusiasts ... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Mulveling - thank you! "You want your amps to be running in their lowest-distortion range, every time (or as close to that as possible given your SPL needs) -- whether tubes or SS. And you can still clearly hear the effects of tube rolling even wh... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Thanks Bill, but your response answers the opposite of what I'm asking. I'm not trying to find out if tube enthusiasts like the sound of less clipping from more powerful amps. Rather, I'm asking if they prefer the sound from less powerful amps, an... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings OK. Let's please get off my "not all Watts are the same" comment. I didn't realize it would be so badly misunderstood - my mistake. Just so it's understood - I'm perfectly aware what a watt is and is not, so let's move on ... | |
| That "tube sound" and power ratings Wow. Quick first responses! But before this gets too far in, I better qualify that I didn't mean that I'm new to EE or Physics or high-end audio listening. However, I am new to tubes as they're used in audio equipment. So my question is only parti... | |
| Lamm 1.2 vs. Pass xa 60.5 Syntax wrote regarding the XA 60.5:"I missed the emotion which is part in any music."Can you tell me what the rest of the system was that made you feel this way? Am wondering how you can make this very confident statement without qualifying it fur... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor WTF? I don't know where this is coming from and have no intention of trying to figure you out. All I wanted to do was start a thread to get some help on something I knew almost nothing about: multi-channel and HT equipment. People responded. The t... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor Zd542-Not worth my time or anyone else's to write here under "false pretenses". Not even sure what you mean by that, and no wish or need to argue and restate what's already been written. All-Thanks to everyone for helping me get back into the fray... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor You miss the point that I am not asking YOU any question at all directly but was opening up a topic for discussion in a forum. I think my questions are good topics for discussion with people who really want to contribute rather than argue or just ... | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor my previous post is addressed to Zd542 only. sorry if there was any confusion about this. | |
| moving on from Emotiva UMC-200 pre/processor At least 4 problems with your response:1. You appear to have missed the main point of my post.2. You're guessing incorrectly about my experience with the subject matter.3. You aren't being either objective or factual.4. You continue to approach th... |
