Given that tubes are oh-so-60s, and this is the 21st century, why
should anybody care about tubed relics like the Cayin, or slavish
Accuphase clones like the Jungson?
Because some people actually use them in their systems to listen
to
music.
Pretty wierd, I'd say.
You say a lot of stupid things. Why should today be any different?
Contrary to popular belief among delusional audiophiles, good sound
doesn't have to be grotesquely inconvenient or hyper-expensive.
Given all of the well-known problems of tubes,
these people must be deep into self-abuse.
Nah, we just like good sound.
Just because its outdated technology doesn't mean it has to sound good.
You might give it a try some time.
Been there, done that. I dumped my last tubed amp in or around 1966.
I guess I should have said you should give quality tube gear a try
some time in
a quality high end system.
Been there, done that. Spending more money on outdated technology can't
overcome its inherent weaknesses.
I know there was plenty of cheap garbage back when
tube gear was mostly used.
True, there is a lot of stuff that tubies still brag about, that is
junk now and was junk then. However, the best tubed equipment can
barely compete with the barely-not-junk class of modern SS electronics.
Was your father even in his puberty then, Scott?
Why on earth are you asking such questions Arny? Doesn't this just
make the
people accusing you of horrible sexual things seem just a little bit
more
credible?
Thanks Scott for admitting that you think that normal hetrosexual
procreation (which was obviously what I was talking about) is a
horrible thought to you.
You might just understand why some people like tubes.
Having suffered with the well-known and obvious failings of tubes
for
years and years when we had no viable option, only increases the
mystery.
See above on the issue of quality.
Spending more money on tubes doesn't cure their inherent ills.
Wait, you understand?
Of course I understand.
Make up your mind Arny. You just said it was a mystery to you.
The mystery is your behavior, Scott. Why do you want audio to be more
difficult than it needs to be?
I understand that some people pretend to like
tube audio amps because it makes them feel special.
IOW you don't understand at all. Just as I predicted. Thanks for
playing.
Mere childish posturing.
Never mind.
I don't mind at all, Scott.
Obviously, you are quite happy to make an ass of yourself here on a
regular
basis.
Scott, I'm not the one in this discussion who made a fool out of
himself before a California Court - you are!
If you like that much pain with your
audibly distorted music, no skin off my nose.
Pain? I think maybe you've been doing this audio thing completely
wrong.
Thanks Scott for admitting that you think that audio has to involve
pain.
Are you really dumb enough to think your playback has no audible
distortion in it?
Where did I say that? I didn't! Obviously the unecessary frustrations
and burdens of tubed audio equipment has unhinged you, Scott.
