Not all SS amps are plain crook, but enough are to give SS a bad name.

I liked you better Pat when you admitted that you abandoned making SS amps
because the competition was to hot and you couldn't make any money at it.

I didn't think you liked me at all.

But the competition is extremely hot for all electronics made outside asian
sweat shops.



One guy wanted to trade in his SS preamp full of oppamps for the tube
pre I had made after he had a listen.

Either the SS preamp was substandard trash, or he was being set up to take
an expensive fall.

Nothing conrived here.
The SS preamp was a respected Oz brandname.



I gently refused, because how would I sell this horror after folks
auditioned the tube pre?

...especially with you setting up the audition!

He chose levels and the discs, I merely witnessed
a tuberligious experience.

I don't sell amplifiers; they sell themselves.



He'd spent $3,000 on SS pre amd power amps, but after a year he could
stand it no longer, and went to all tubes, how's that for 22 yr old ears?

In many cases its all about preconditioning the listener.

I had absolutely nothing to do with what happened after he had a listen to some
real tube amps.

I didn't precondition anyone.
