Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?

I'd make sure your curtains are pulled tight at night. God only knows what Kaity is capable of. You don't want him busting out his teleportation tweak on you and showing you his magic pebbles.

>>>More wishful thinking, obviously. Time for a nice long cold shower, eh, Costco?

I’m kind of late in the convo here, but ...  

the original “experiment” by Mr Walker was more of a sham, not a true experiment that controls for all/most variables as we do it in the real world. 

He found 2 different amps, ONE SS and ONE tube, but ran them through the SAME speakers. The speakers are the last units in the sonic chain to impart sonic influence on the final sound.

1. Change the speakers and I will not get the same sound from the 2 different amps most of the time. Do this test with 100 different speakers, and IMO over 50 of the tests will reveal different sounds even with the same SS/tube amps. 


Synergy, remember?
Because different speakers have different properties and sonic signatures.  e.g., # of cones and drivers, size and type of drivers, 4 Ohm vs 8 ohm , vs 16 ohm, etc

kosst_amojan,

"God only knows what Kaity is capable of."

I will be brave. So far, he has not shown much he is capable of. Although, if teleportation tweak works, I can see a potential for a lucrative career. Unless Air France finds out about it first. Even magic pebbles. Who has not tried to sell that story to some unsuspecting listener at the desperate evening moment? So, I will give him benefit of the doubt that he is trying.
