Home Tube DIY Asylum

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

RE: It won't equal a choke...

"Bottom line - it's neither necessary nor desirable to contaminate your music with silicon."

My apologies, and I do hope I don't start start a big interruption to the flow of this thread, but I am always so puzzled when I read statements like this one. Unless your chosen sound source is old gramophone records, you are surely listening to music that has already been "contaminated" by a huge amount of silicon? Does one more silicon item, in itself, have that much effect one way or the other?

Another possibility is that the vacuum tube stage is adding in something to the sound, in which case indeed, one might find it doesn't do that as well if silicon is included. I find that a perfectly good reason for preferring to use a tube amplifier, though I'm not sure all tube lovers would accept this premise.
