Realistic sound = tubes and analogue

[Sir Terrence the Terrible]

I will once again agree with you. Perspective doesn't has to be limited to one's own system. Most of the best systems I've heard are not my own.

Okay....

Now, look up on your screen. With Firefox, the tab clearly states the title of the topic. Can you say tubes? The topic IS "Realistic sound = tubes and analogue". The relevance to my observations is your lack of exposure to the best tube components. Your silence and protestations over backing your rhetoric with facts speaks volumes.

What you call observation(of which you cannot have over the internet) is really just plain old assumption. You have no idea of what equipment I have heard, you are just filling in the blanks(since I have no intention on telling you) with your own perspective, which does not have a damn thing to do with me. So there is no relevance to your observations,as your observations are uneducated and lack any fact whatsoever.

I was not silent on my observation, I was silent about my equipment. There is a difference. One is relevant to the the topic at hand, the other is not.

BTW, Happy Birthday. While we have different perspectives on audio, I really do appreciate your expertise in HT matters. Perhaps discussing our passions over a beer might work better.

Thanks for the B-day wishes. I don't think we have such different perspectives on audio as we have differences on the equipment and format we choose to listen to it through.
