What was your greatest epiphany?


That one shining moment when everything first came together. When the heavens opened up, the clouds parted, the sun shone, and the angels began to sing.

For me, it was hearing music played through tubes for the first time, after a lifetime in the solid state wilderness. Even my wife came into the room and noticed how much better the music sounded. Carole King never sounded so good.

I do remember a Mahavishnu Orchestra concert ath the Auditorium in Chicago back around 1971(?) when I really thought I had reached heaven/nirvana.
I'd like to hear more on that '67 acid trip, rasta.

kinsekd, agreed: the first time i heard a tube amp in my system (sonic frontiers) i almost cried. that was the beginning of the end.
When I got my first relatively high end system and discovered that Stereo Review had it all wrong!

Of course, that doesn't compare to Jeff's revelation ;-)
Matchstikman: I was talking about digital front ends in this post, not amplifiers. As far as amps go, almost all of my speakers are of low impedance, low sensitivity and highly reactive. This is a combo that very few tube amps would enjoy dealing with. Sean

That budweiser is horrible beer. College was a steady diet of genesee, piels and red,white&blue (16oz of course). On the rare occasion, when we could afford it, we'd sit back and enjoy/savor some budweiser. I thought it was the best until a friend started working at Holmes&Watson in Troy, NY. A great little bar with a fantastic selection. Our first night there he served us Bass, New Castle, Sam Smiths, Ass Bock, MacEwen's, Mackeson Stout...
My god, my god, what have I done? I'd been drinking piss.
