Now if people buying valve gear would just say its because they *prefer*
the sound rather than saying the sound is *better* (how can it be given
SS systems can reproduce it), there would be no problems :-)

Is it possible to prefer something and not think that it is better at the
same time?



Yep, I love/prefer my old Luxman tuner (or would, if I could get a decent
signal) but I bet it's not really in Leagues, Division 1 or 2 really....


Ah, now I get it.. if you were to offer me a doner kebab or some sort of
lobster salad 9 times out of 10 I'd have the kebab. Stone cold sober too.

Btw, the second amp finally turned up this afternoon - how's yours going??


It's very good. I put the first Kings of Leon album (vinyl) on last
night and to my ears it was superb, a real WOW moment.
I had a quick listen to a Blur CD and was equally impressed, but I think
Metallica
may have to stay solid state for now - at least until I've tried them
out on my better speakers anyway.
Whatever my ears tell me is what I'll go with and I'm looking forward to
going through my music collection to see how it all sounds, but how to
find the time and go to work?
