Is it just me?

Posted by davidandcandy@gmail.com (A) on June 11, 2015 at 10:27:57

Okay, so in the past I've had Klipsch speakers and read the tons of happy reviews about pairing them with various configurations of tubed equipment. I could never bring myself to try tubes because of my perhaps irrational fear of tube failure, different types & sounds of different tubes, bias adjusting, etc. The uncertainty, fear factor, "audio nervosa", whatever, has steered me away from them. Again, I know it's irrational, because I've never personally had any experience with tubes, nor do I know anyone who has, just things I've read & the fact that most of you who've used tube equip. are much more knowledgeable about electronic gear than I. Anyone else have that anxiety attack and all the aforementioned drama fill your brain from tube thoughts? * please say yes, it's hell to be old and alone with unfounded fears, yuk yuk :)
Everyone thinks I'm strange except my friends deep inside the earth
