It looks like a debate to me.

I'm more interested in hearing the viewpoints of people that have earned stripes in the audio industry rather than faceless hobbyists. Am I alone in this?

Tube or not to tube, is that the question?

Yes and no.. I like both, I like tubes in the mids (only) , I like SS bass and above 12k.  I like tubes from 100hz-12k. 

Faceless hobbyists

Actually that was not the question. 

What is the question? ACTUALLY? Yea after another Agonner let me know my input was not what he asked for, I kindly replied "THEN ASK THE RIGHT QUESTION".  My answer had to ANSWER someones question....RIGHT? Even if it was about the planet Venus. Man oh man people are so picky....or PRICKY! is that a word?

Geeezzzz think I'll take up drinkin' might get along with folks easier HERE!!! Tough crowd...

Regards, maybe...

oldhvymec I welcome your input any time.
However I recommend cannabis in lieu of alcohol for "getting along."
It works better for me. 

Well I happen to agree, we are on the same page there. As for the rest I was premature in my assumption it was SS vs Valve. I'm still not quite sure what the forum is for.  But here is the good news. I'm a good sport, let me read and learn. Sounds like politics in one form or another.

Respectfully and with regard

YES YOU ARE.. YOUR the only one...

On these forums who else is here, and what constitutes STRIPES? If I'm reading this correctly, you want, "the PRICKS, and BITCHES, to keep their nasty, I drank to much, I don't feel good, mine is the best, my way or the highway, or I'm JUST AN ASSHAT to keep away from WHAT?  What is the question? or is it all the questions with the inference, "your a friggin moron for asking", or ignored all together.  Is it the response to the questions, or the statements? Refer to the above... Jealousy always brings unkind words.
The quality of the question you ask, can often determine the QUALITY of the answer you receive. 

I mean did someone offend you that much?.. EXPLAIN your position more clearly, and tell the naysayers, to fuc@off , eat shi?, and die.

Works for me... The dickhea#s your speaking of, have a contribution, just having to read between the lines is a pain in the hinderside... Yes means yes, no means no..

Now was there a question, or is this just a "blow off some steam" blog.

Did I miss something... AM I ONE??? Don't be shy... How may I be of assistance. For crying out loud.... IT'S ALL FREE. Then bitch about the service. LOL Don't be shy now, I'm NOT..oh yea!!!!!!!

Respectfully and hopefully with a since of humor.
