Ultra-Fi Vs. Kroomel-Which Is more fun?
The "Ultra-Fi" movement consists of people who build extremist tube
amplifiers using big pretty tubes and nifty looking chassis and big
efficient HORN speakers. They don't measure their units at all or very
little. Their equipment sounds, well, it sounds the way they like it.
They seem to be having a lot of fun though.
On the other hand there is the mighty Kroomel. He does not appear to
be having any fun. He seems to be determined to not let anyone else
have any fun either. He also has a lot of sound equipment and there's
no doubt his is louder. It also sounds, well, it sounds the way he
likes it to sound.
Now if the goal is to have fun, which group is more successful? It's
enough to make everyone build a WE91.
