What a great read, breath of fresh air.
This guy thinks like a "Left Handed Master Mechanic"
Rare sort of bird..
Thank you OP for your open minded approach to a long over due LOOK at WHY?..
I’ve always said the same thing. A person can call you on the phone 50 years sense the last time you spoke, amazingly you instantly recall his or her voice... THAT ability is DEAD on in regards to the way a construct can sound.
MEASURE THAT.. You can’t. It is directly associated with a FEELING a true 6th sense.. Honestly I have a 7th sense about people too.. The reason I like animals.. They do not lie..
I personally look at the wire and you can SEE the way the material is drawn through the different tool dies, you can SEE the direction.. Tool marks don’t lie either.. Peoples good or BAD hearing might not always hear a difference, but after building a valve amp (per se)
and sticking to the rules of "LOOKING" at the wire being used, it can make a heck of a difference..
James B. of Ampizilla, only drew wire off the spool in ONE direction AFTER he looked at it under a microscope..
He is also the guy that WELDED in his power cables and believed in cold fusion weld. Solder was an afterthought..
50 years ago.....50 YEARS AGO....
THAT was a serious amp builder, Single malt didn’t hurt either
.
Regards
