RE: Theory Man?

Have you ever built a full wave diode vs full wave tube rectifier. Maybe choke vs cap input. Maybe even some damper diode tubes. Then after did you put them in front of the amp to see if you could hear a difference????

I think I know the answer. They can pay you a million dollars a year to design what ever but unless you do the above you have no idea what it SOUNDS like. Maybe you should have taken a few debate courses and a little less math. Was Sal after money or sound? No doubt someone knows. I bet it was not you or me. Dennis comes up with some crazy stuff but that does not mean he is wrong here. A clue in the debate world this is call a hasty gen--------sion. The one thing we are pretty sure about is you have not heard a Dennis and Sal amp side by side.

Another clue in debate is never attack opponent. They will tear you a new one!!! The discussion is about circuitry and sound. Not about if you are farmer or 6 figure engineer. Bet there are plenty of farmers who make way pass your salary.

I could go on and on and on and on but if you do not get the point by now!!! Again why are you on a tube diy forum when best buy is just as good as you put it. Is it to save us poor souls from breathing solder fumes????

Enjoy the best buy sound
