Let's forget about being politically correct


I thought this would catch the attention of some of you. I have for the past 10 years used a SS amp and tube preamp. This was the prevailing wisdom with alot of audiophiles in the 90's and even today. I am look for a change in my amp/preamp, who out there is using a tube amp with a ss pre? How does it sound? What combinations have you tried?

Unsound, since you know sound is a thing, wave (form/trans-matter form) is a thing. Here's a question for you. What is not a thing?

Happy Birthday, Unsound. :-)
Shubertmaniac,

Those great scientists must had known something about the "no-limit"...

Have some "tea" Schubert; you want it in the "cup" or ... in "music"...
Sound is the reaction of matter to energy, ergo sound is a state of matter. This can be taken to an organic level, where sound is the reaction of energy on the grey matter most of us carry around. With in us and with out us, sound is a thing. As to how I percieve sound/music. It all depends. If I'm startled by it, I may first react by trying to localize it, if I predetermine to let go of my guard, I may let it enter into another state of being. 6chac, a thing is not a thing untill it's recognized. Thank you for the two early birthday presents. You really shouldn't have.
If being in physical reality makes one a thing, even if only a wave-thing/wave-form, then what is mind, because isn't my mind in physical reality right now, as I say this, or is it?

then, if...

If mind/being is not a thing, yet existing in physical reality makes all in existence into form/things, then where is my being/mind?

Sorry, I couldn't resist...:0)
