Agreed. Except that LPs are generally so bad that it is
questionable whether you can call the corrupted mess
that can be recovered from them *music*.

Catch a grip, Arny....

Pseudo-Dr., cure yourself first!



What cure do I need? I use SS and valve amps, 'horns' and 'normal' speakers
on a regular (daily) basis; I listen to analogue and digital audio according
to my requirements at any particular time and I simply don't care who else
does what and which they prefer...

Look to yourself, Arny - you're the one with a serious bug up your arse...

Same as valve amps. The two ( liking valves and LPs)

that those people like a strongly coloured sound.

I think that sentimentality, a desire to be different
for the sake of being different, and gettting attention
is behind most of the adamant LP preference we see
expressed around here.

Add to that a liking for horn loudspeakers, and we have
the triumvirate - vinyl-valves-horns. Coloration rules OK?

Agreed. It's the "Look at me, I'm weird" effect. These days, we might

One thing for sure ... I used to do a lot of headphone
listening. Still do in fact.

Other than doing live sound, I primarily listen through headphones.


Aha! Now that *does* explain a few things - all your bloody silly comments
about LPs are based on *headphone listening*??


Headphones reveal the failings of LPs very cruelly.
Listening on speakers seems to be less unkind to them.

That's because most rooms pretty well conceal tons of distortion and
noise.


That's a good 'un - even for you!! (Horse****ting himself now, it
seems...???)

'Nuff said, Arny - I, for one, know exactly where you're coming from now!

It's hardly the first time someone tried to make money by making
nonsensical technical claims. It looks like Sony and Philips lost
millions, so they got their just desserts.

Don't know about Sony - they might be sweating, but Philips losing
'millions' would be a lot less devastating than Arny leaving his umbrella

OK, I am informed that Philip's 2006 turnover was 27,000,000,000 Euros and
that Sony has just done 18,000,000,000 USD in 'Quarter 2', 2007 (?) so maybe
they ain't sweating that hard after all....

No, my ears told me that if a piece of tubed equipment didn't already sound
like **** compared to SS, just run the tubed piece for a few months to a
year or two until the tubes got tired.

There was a reason why there were tube checkers in just about every
electronics, hardware and drug store in the US in those days - the tubed
gear stopped working so well, and a bad tube was a likely explanation.

From what I gather most of those stores had a foot pedal on the checker that
made every valve look like it needed replacing - how many times you got took
like that, Arny?

How on earth can an amplifier cost £3.5K? Unless the chassis is gold-plated,
or it's hand-built by a Swiss craftsman. Neither of which make any
difference to the performance.

I think the answer is that it doesn't *cost* £3.5K, that's the *price*. The
factory cost, excluding marketing expenses, dealer's margin etc will be a

On the nail as usual, Serge....

But my remark was not as facetious as it might have appeared - there's not
much doubt that the normal 'thin-slice' SS amplifiers stand no chance
against an OK valve amp in my book, but once you get up into the
'arc-welder' bracket to the amps which weigh a bit and have serious power
supplies I'm sure (but I don't *know*) that a 3 cwt/3 grand solid state amp
(running as hot as a forge) can probably offer the same 'sonics' as a valve
amp probably weighing a bit less and probably costing a lot less (but
probably still running just as hot) - no?

Anybody got first hand experience of a truly *serious* SS amp?

It'll drive rock and roll rigs too. 600wpc into 4 ohms - around 900 wpc into 2.

As a monitor amplifier it was just lovely. Totally neutral.
