Stare neurotically at my navel, ask a random bunch of even more neurotic navel gazers what should I do I am so conflicted, etc etc, circle back to gazing impotently at my navel, lather rinse repeat until another 11 years go... | |
| Tube Power vs Solid State Power All I can say is what I’ve experienced. I have 95 db sensitive open baffle speakers from Spatial. I’ve run about five amps from six watts a channel tube up to 700 watts a channel solid state mono blocks. Of everything I tried, 20 watts of transfor... | |
