| Why no interest in reel to reel if you're looking for the ultimate sound? We don't listen to measuring devices we listen to music. Ages ago when I was all about specifications I agreed with the SS people for just that reason; however, if my musical ears tell me one thing while electronic meters say another, I'm going t... | |
| Jazz for aficionados "Jazz Track" was an album that came out in 59 with "Ascenseur Pour L'Echafaud." on one side and "Green Dolphin Street" plus 2 other cuts on the other side. I liked Green Dolphin Street a lot, but not much else.Not until I saw the movie did I real... | |
| Tube versus SS If you notice, SS devotees define this audio thing by what's missing "noise and distortion"; while tube devotees describe it by what is present and not missing, "music", that's what's not missing with tubes.Some time ago, a lot of noise went along... | |
| Tube versus SS Cakyol, you get the prize for the most erroneous post I've read today.How good the DC is will be determined by how bad the AC was, as well as the quality of components in the "power supply" which is where AC is turned into DC. | |
| Tube versus SS There are so many different things that sound "good'. It's not until you make the decision to want to hear only what the artist presented that you will be on the path to "Nirvana". This is a very narrow and difficult path to follow. | |
| Tube versus SS Mikelavigne, that is so true. My first love was a Phase Linear 4000, it did everything; you could alter the music so many ways, and not stop until everything sounded exactly like you wanted it to sound."Equalizers" were the rage back then. I we... | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc With tubes there is always some noise, although it can be "inaudible", noise and tubes go together, even when the noise is so low that you can't hear it; consequently, Raul is saying always use SS without saying it. | |
| The very best sound: Direct to Disc Raul, with all due respect, I'm an electronics technician and I have to take exception to "MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS". That sounds good, and at one time that was my bible, until I discovered that if you can hear the music, disregard the distortions.I... | |
| Tube versus SS Thank you Glissando for your very informative post.When I turned on my rig and it sounded much better, although I hadn't done anything to bring this about, I put 2+2 together and came up with the answer; the quiet grid that resulted from the COVID... | |
| Tube versus SS That was meant to be "entire life experimenting with things" | |
| Tube versus SS Optimize, I doubt if I'll change anything radically; the reason being that a person can spend their entire experimenting with things as opposed to listening to music.Thanks for your post. | |
| Tube versus SS Cousinbilly, I wish I had your ability to hear; while what you say is true, not everyone has the ability to hear that difference. | |
| Tube versus SS Kennyc, no need to apologize when you're right. I have been in a "lock-down" inner sanctum communicating only with self for so long, that initially I failed to communicate effectively with others.Tube versus SS is a wrong statement, should have b... | |
| Tube versus SS Here's a battery powered preamp; http://www.enjoythemusic.com/magazine/equipment/1213/red_wine_audio_isabella_renaissance_edition.htm | |
| Tube versus SS Fuzztone, I only use 12AU7 or 6922 or 6dj8; could one of those be replaced by a 6FQ7? |
