Tubes... what do they do?...

Pauly...you were making such progress until your last post. What happened?

CDWallace – Not sure what you consider “progress”, but I doubt I was leaning towards what you consider progress. After 30 years in this hobby I do still learn a lot, but most certainly not from just anybody.

What I have learned though is that facetiousness and irony is lost on some, and in a big way. Anybody following the thread would know my statement “my ears have rarely been able to match their test results.” is obviously tongue-in-cheek … well almost anybody.

I recall many years back watching a flamenco guitarist tune his guitar with an electronic tuner. I recall thinking that he probably wouldn’t be much of a musician if he couldn’t tune by ear. I was right; he was pathetic.

Same holds for an audiophile. An audiophile who cannot trust his ears is not worth listening to.

Pauly,

I think CDW was refferring to the fact that you made a post that did not directly insult or belittle someone to make your point.

Can you tune a guitar by ear pauly?

Your attempt at humor fell short, as I believe it would be against your nature to place those who measure equal to yourself a true music lover.

But since you are part of the measurmeent brigade! Maybe you can tell us about your speakers and amplifier and how they measure and how that relates to what you actually hear. I would be very interested with what someone with all your experience and knowledge has to share. Sharing some of your 45 years of experience would be appreciated.

What kind of speakers do you have again? Do you use the new ETF or Liberty, Mlssa?

cool
