I can advise people on speakers, amplifiers, cables, digital to analog converters, preamplifiers, and tuners as well as room setup and placement options but you have to leep an open mind around me because the stuff i suggest may surprise you for s... | |
| Why do we want to distortions? Tube amplifiers sound different than solid state but are much more particular with speakers than solid state so if you want the tube amp experience to be as good or better than solid state you need a pre 1965 speaker to play on it. | |
| Samsung flat screen TV’s I have had the same results only one flat screen has had longevity and that was an early one with a subpar picture they are built as throw away items now sad to say. | |
