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.

It's known as constructor's ear.

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

They have proven themselves to only be able to hear the benefits when they
can see that their favorite amp is playing.

It's all about prejudice and bias.
