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?

There seem to be a few individuals on this forum that just go way off on tangents and then hammer their keyboards defending their viewpoint. While there is some indirect connectivity to these posts and, the writings are for the most part beautifully composed and written, they just veer much too far from the immediate topics and questions at hand. This is a result of not have an editor to keep the dialog on track and to the point. These guys need to make a concerted effort to concentrate and focus their talents at reviewing equipment or issues at hand and not expounding philosophical viewpoints. Of course the subject line of this thread probably did not help in starting things off.
Well, after all that, how do y'all think this combo would sound: Cary Audio SLP-74 mated to a Musical Fidelity A3cr power amp? I'm thinking about trying this. My speakers are Soliloquy 5.3s.
Unsound: silence is not an "it"

Sean: my head hurts this morning too...On "will depend on perspective". 6ch, while saying that there are many answers says there is One; yes, there are infinite ways to the top of the mountain, but same view for everyone when you get there/ realize you are there.

Suburu: thanks for the laugh!

Nealhood: hello, I don't think I've seen you before. So, its the "indirect" part of any connectivity that really gets to you? And so, we need - well, a few "others" need this, of course, not yourself - need an editor, as in, someone to control the others, limit their dialogue?

Yes, yes, when we don't like what is said, we want someone, usually a patriarchical daddy to stop what we hear, make the others conform to "direct" connectivity, to only what we want to hear.

Hmmm.

There are plenty of threads to go around without calls for content censorship. I think your last sentence is most operative towards that sentiment.

Shubert: You are about six months behind. If I can find the info, I will let you know. BTW, its not a small thing in academic circles, quite significant. Actually, I even think NOVA did a special on it last week on PBS. I'll look around when I get the time (busy today)
Unsound: Welcome to the "club". Glad to see that i'm not the only "knucklhead". At least you don't make it as obvious or as often as i do : ) Sean
