between those with pioneering spirit and all the rest. I have always thought that curiosity drives all scientific desire/research and action drives all scientific discovery....and invention.Nowhere is this difference more evident than in the so called 'culture war' of contemporary American politics. But I leave that discussion for elsewhere.
I have yet to see any engineering data that actually describes the sonic differences between various tubes.
What measurement describes how/why thoriated tungsten filiments sound differently than nicad?
What data describes the sound of box [shaped] plates compared with cylindrical plates?
What data explains the different sound of graphite plates as opposed to metal?
Same for sonic differences between steel, nickel and nano-glass core materials. What about core geometry?
For these, one must EXPERIENCE the various designs to even know that a difference exists, much less what sounds best. I have seen discussion where, absent this date, some would argue that NO such differences exists. Hmmmm. :)
Any Philo Farnsworths here?
