And isn't he doing a great job? Seeing you and the other
remaining wrecker of this group (Plowie) squirming and
squealing, like you both are, is most amusing -
especially when he seems to be able to do it so easily!

It appears that imagining harm and discomfort for others
cheers you up, Keith. Perhaps there is a dog or cock
fight that you could go and entertain yourself with?

Arny. Some time ago, I was curious as to your raison
d'etre on RAT which is a NG dedicated to tube audio,
after both you and Stewart P expressed your disdain
for tubes and the people who enjoyed building amplifiers
with them.

As usual Iain, your imagination is working overtime. Once people quit
pressing the myth that tubes necessarily sound better than the best SS
equipment, I can enjoy tubes for what they are - a technological
sentimental journey, and a technological backwater for people who
can't master the more difficult art of building SS power amps.


I'm sure one reason people turned to valves was to build a better amp
they could buy for anything like the same amount of money and many would
have chosen valves as the easier route, but I'm not sure even that's
valid now that the Chinese are *fully* onboard - at all price levels. I
suspect that anybody who builds a valve amp now is because they *want*
to and can only surmise they prefer the resultant sound from one.

Don't assume that others can't hear the benefits, simply because you
(obviously) can't....
