In Reply to: It's not about the "silence" per se.... posted by mkuller on April 21, 2012 at 10:35:35:
Not to me. The way that sounds "emerge" from the background in tube systems reminds me of the way sounds emerge from the background in vinyl systems. And I feel that sounds emerge from SS and CD systems in ways that are similar to each other too. I might even say that the backgrounds of the former types are characterized by "warm silence" while the latter types are characterized by "cold silence". It can be terribly hard to describe but I feel that this is true.
