Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: Apparently, you missed an important qualitifer.



I think you're right. There's no doubt that personal tastes do exist-- they do.

Should the designer of good audio equipment, then, build equipment that is inaccurate in order to sell to a certain group of personal tastes?

One could venture to say that most equipment IS built that way-- and quite a bit of it also sells.

The problem arises when you play recording "A"-- and the piece of equipment embellishes it-- "sounds good", you say.

Then, you play recording "B" and that same piece of equipment trashes it! Well, now what? Play only "A" recordings and learn to hate recordings like "B"?

Isn't that kind of stupid? You COULD HAVE had a GOOD piece of equipment, and then you would know what each recording really sounds like. Isn't that better than not knowing what ANY recording really sounds like because your equipment is always changing it on you?
