Spectron vs any good tube amp.

Charles1dad, "sound" is one thing while "music" is another. People can become addicted to certain kinds of "sound", but is it music?

"They" sold us on SS, and we believed them. One day I asked myself, "If this is so good, why don't I feel what I use to feel". When I went back to tubes, I received the answer.

Tubes vary with the amplitude and frequency of the music constantly, while transistors turn on and off. They do this at such a rapid rate that your conscious mind thinks they're on all the time. When I listen to music, I listen with my third ear; that's kind of like that center channel in your listening room. My third ear is connected directly to my heart; if it doesn't hear, I won't feel.

My third ear rejects anything artificial, and the Spectron is artificial by design; consequently I believe it would be a waste of time "for me" to audition it; especially after teajay confirmed what I had theorized.

Orpheus10, was your original question a rhetorical one?

No. SS people, and tube people; hear things so differently that one finds the other hard to believe, which is why I asked "what a tube person thought about the Spectron?"

It appears as though one post from a person that uses both ss and tubes made up (confirmed?) your mind. You then go on to comment about the switching nature of ss amplification and the artificial design of the Spectrum amps.
Hmm?

Hi Orpheus10,
You`re preaching to the choir(look at my system LOL!).It`s just that nothing beats your own audition when possible to do so. Personally SET tube amps are it for me,unsurpassed realism with my jazz music(they`re in the room or i`m in the club or studio).
