Maybe he's not a Hendrix fan. :)

Our family attorney is a big time audiophile with all kinds of early
Marantz, Mac and Sherwood stuff - collects them actually - and once I
took over my prized Derek and The Dominos (autographed) album to play
on his Mac system.

The comparison to what you get off a CD is incredible to say the

I'm sure glad I don't have *gifted* hearing and all its apparent associated

I have perfect pitch and for me, it's a curse.

off key. :)

Remember the good old days when CD's were paying 16% interest? OTOH
mortgage rates were 18%.

I was lucky enough to move a good percentage of my investments into a
Pacific Life annuity in 2006 that guarantees a minimum return of 6% yet will
pay higher depending if the investment options show a greater return.

To say the least indeed.. if he had to ask, he can never understand.

How can anyone be expected to understand your complete gibberish? What
you said made absolutely no sense no matter where the puctuation might
be placed.

Unless you think Hendrix played and recorded on digital equipment and
you just left out a lot of verbiage.

No... even YOU couldn't be that stupid. You'd have forgotten to
breathe a long time ago and you wouldn't be here.

Salty, maybe you should just filter him. It's obvious he's irritating the
hell out of you. Filters, for the most part, work pretty well.

I think it's safe to say that the old tube amps had more "warmth",
just the thing for a cold winter's night in New England. :-)

Plus, the extra added advantage of glowing in the dark.

Nothing like a dim room and the soft glow of vacuum tubes. :)

I should take a picture of my Dad's Collins S-line some evening after
dark.

Now that's a sight. :)

Don't the 30S-1 and 30L-1 use ceramic output tubes? Now the glass tubes in
the rx and tx would glow for sure.

Only the 30S-1 - cathode drive, ceramic triodes. The 30L-1 uses four
811A glass triodes cathode drive in parallel.

Yes, nothing like that dull red glow from the plates of power tetrode
that is really pushing out the watts! And if it happens to be just a
tad gassy you get that interesting blue flicker, all of which has
unfortunately gone missing in the solid state era. Someone with a big
old amp should make some YouTube videos for old times sake.

Yeah "somebody" should. :)

Libs don't really understand art unless it has a pricetag, and a good
one.. of if one of their friends have it;) Anyone who can not hear
the difference between an old record album, even when it was new, and
a remastered CD with "noise" and such taken out, has not listened. I
like the sound of the old records, the new remastered stuff just don't
have the feel for me.. but that is art to me. Some folks have a lot of
knowledge, but no soul...
