But that what this group does - try anything to do with
the enjoyment of 'hifi' per se and the sounds you get
from it and it soon gets ****ed on by a small group of
smartarses* who think they have got the all the answers
'in the numbers' and who start braying 'you can't alter
the laws of physics' or somesuch.

Contrary to your peculiar beliefs Keith, almost everybody these days
manages to enjoy hifi without messing with tubes or vinyl.


DIY 'audio' without 'tubes or vinyl' is very difficult and certainly beyond
the reach of someone like me who has no 'technical background' but was able,
just for a while, to pull it together enough to build two amps (one of them
a kit, the other a pile of components and a circuit diagram), a 3 box valve
phono stage (kit) and six pairs of speakers (piles of board, speaker drive
units and drawings) - three of which are in daily use and have been
complimented to death by visitors to here.


One does one's best and, once in a while, one has a result!! :-)
