Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

No, but you do get used to the way something sounds.

If you have ever heard a system that drew you in and made you want to keep listening, keep playing different records, happy and enthralled at the experience, that is a good system. Many systems can sound good, but after a while sounding slightly harsh or strident, a note that stands out, etc. They can be serviceable systems, somewhat exciting, but left off more that they should.

The key is that you are building a system. The amp/speaker/room combination is one where you can take a great amp in one speaker/room combination and have it sound not as good (or even bad) with another combination. You really are not going to know unless you listen to it for a while.

The though of relying on a fast cycle A/B test to tell me what sound I liked better would mean that I lack the capacity to think for myself and enjoy music. It forces choice in an unnatural way.
