It looks like a debate to me.

fuzztone - you sound like a sick puppy to me and I am not sure you can be fixed...

I've earned my stripes by being a sought after and sometimes chased after (Get him! That concert was too damn loud!) live sound mixer/producer/destroyer. I've had my stripes ceremoniously ripped off in front of royalty also, along with banishment to an isolated island from which I escaped. Long story...however, I'm firmly in the single ended Tube camp which interestingly is a camp with a single end that sounds like music.

For the record:

• I have a face (just checked...it's still there)

• And I'm not a "hobbyist." My love of music (which propels all my audio systems appreciation), has way more amplitude than that snarky word can convey

Wow. Am I a "faceless hobbyist?" That makes me sad......YMMV.
