Glad we agree. I have zero problem with people choosing their stereo kit (or car, kitchen gear, golf equipment or whatever) based on whatever criteria they wish to use. I use a tube amp in my system. I make no claims that it sounds or measures better than other amps, but I just happen to like tube amps based on my many years of building and repairing them. There is just something intangible about good sound from a tube amp that appeals to me on a basic level.
Where I get annoyed is when people start making declarations that turn their personal preference into scientific fact and then denigrate anyone who doesn't agree with the brilliance of their certainty. That often is followed with rather novel, shall we say, theories to explain things. I guess it is just a human fault that people need to justify their choices instead of simply saying "I like this." Science is a whole 'nother issue and it seems many in the audiophile world is drifting further and further from the concept. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mlsstl's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9598 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101584 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
