Hi, Im new to this groupand I want to share a discvoery that really made my
day. I listen to mp3s and at 64k the sound is better than a vinyl recerd not
as good as a cd. So I ran it throuogh a Hologram tube preamp I dsicovered on
a used shelf.

It removed all the Bad Distortion! It was remarkable. I have never heard
mp3s so good in my life! Pass this on to all your friends please. I don't
want anything for it .

Theorizing, I think the tube removes all bad distortion and replaces it with
the Accurate Original, the way I heard it at the actual concert. Or perhaps
it just balances out the harmonics as people tell me. But I believe the
first explanation is more true.

have Fun!

"An engineer" sans relevant education and formal qualifications. But his
volume pot goes to 20.

yes i can second that

valves and mp3s sound very nice...im runnning my sound card straight into
valve power amps and useing the pc media volume control- onto yamaha NS1000s
....and its fantastic....

maybe not as good as my top end vinyl system...and not as adjustable as
vinyl...
best wishes

This is the most idiotic thread I've seen in a long time.
I'm amazed that he isn't recognized as a troll.
