The way I see it, you got to put the oscilloscope down and listen to music/voice/anything else, both live and recorded. Take your time. Let your ears be the guide. Keep in mind that source material may not be all that perfect, either, and there's no reason you shouldn't be able to deviate from the technical straight and narrow to optimize the source material your heart likes the best. Putting it another way, are you at the doctor's office or in your living room? Then there's the matter of the associated components and the room they sit in.
TUBE or SS PATHS
This came from my local Technician: "
You all are enthusiasts of fine audio reproduction equipment, and of course, appreciators of fine musicianship. I'm curious of your thoughts concerning the reproduction of sound. As audiophiles, is it not the desire to faithfully reproduce and amplify the input signal without distortion of any kind? Why is it then, that some prefer tubes due to their "warm" personality, and others prefer the "sterile" personality of solid state? Indeed, if a fine audiophile grade tube amp and a fine audiophile grade solid state amp are compared side to side, should they not sound exactly the same? If they do not sound the same, I would say one of them, if not both are coloring and/or distorting in some form? I have posed this question to many of my "high end" customers, and have never gotten an answer that satisfies me.....your thoughts? John
