Valve sound versus solid state...

[Spectral Morn]

Talking the merits of tube vs SS is fun, and can go on for days, months, years. Even within the tube community, you can debate endlessly over SET vs Push Pull...hell, you can even debate which 300B is better in a SET design.

But at the end of the day, audio is about listening. And luckily, we all come equipped with the best testing devices ever invented...our ears.

When I want to convince someone about the merits of tube (SET to be precise), I don't say anything...I invite them over for a nice cocktail and a listen.

The procedure is very simple...

1. Sit them in a comfortable listening chair (mine happens to be a vintage Karuselli chair designed by Yrjö Kukkapuro)

2. Put on Holly Cole's Don't Smoke in Bed

3. Listen

Assimilation complete.

Only on your third post and I can see you will fit in here brilliantly..... Great music (love Holly Cole...Temptation particularly), designer furniture, and taste in gear.

"We will get most of them in the end...oh yes we will" Resistance is futile...
