RE: Don't be so sure ...

I never understand why people get upset with the idea that you change your system to fit your taste. They use this pejorative term "tone controls" as if that is the absolute worst thing a person could want from his music making system. I think a lot of use NOS and new production small signal tubes to fit our preferences . So what? I have been very happy listening to a lot of different systems with different cables and many many tubes. I have mostly enjoyed the pursuit I call my hobby. In fact I was just thinking about how nice a particular 12AU7 tube I had collected somewhere along the way compared with the stck tube in a small 1 tube headphone amp. At first I thought the stock tube sounded really good and what was the point of collecting and spending money on esoteric tubes it won't mak a big difference. Wel, you guessed it -it did matter, and the sound of this remarkable little amp was that much better. (End Of Rant)
