Well done, 52. Most people here have NO IDEA of the history of audio, or how tubes actually work. Why for example, has it been so difficult for me (and everyone else in the known world) to make solid state audio designs that are superior to the best tube designs? It just so happens that VTL, Audio Research, Sequerra, and many other tube manufacturers can give me, and anyone else, a real run for audio quality. Their only limitation is cost.
The best power amp that I have ever heard in my life was made by Dick Sequerra and JC Morrison, and cost $100,000 a pair. I can't afford one. By far, the best tuner that I have ever used or heard is the Marantz 10 or the Marantz 10B (I've owned both) and I listened to my Marantz 10, just last night. What a tuner!
