[OT] [Shotimes] Premium sound system question

[Donald Mallinson]

Just posted something about that.  I have three different CD 
players, and the difference in the electronics does allow 
one of them to give much better bass than a couple of others.

But I spent a lot of my college years listening to different 
high end systems, and the best transistors can equal the 
best tubes, and they don't deteriorate quickly like most 
tube amps do.

Ears and minds can be fooled, but the electronic instruments 
of engineers can see that there is no real difference 
between tube and transistor.

Stereo Review promoted the best of the best, but in true 
double blind tests could prove that at the very high end, 
tube or transistor didn't make any difference, just like 
vinyl vs digital.

But if you prefer your tube amps, I am sure they put out 
superb music, along with heating your home in the winter and 
keeping the tube replacement industry going!  :)
