as a
professional audio engineer i'd like to say one thing about audiophiles
90% ARE
POSEURS WHO DON'T KNOW
SHIT ABOUT
AUDIO
now let me tell you why...
1. They think
tube amps sound better, because they are warmer and more
natural.
WRONG WRONG WRONG!
Solid state amps
reproduce the
sound much more faithfully than tube amps, if your sound needs more life
bitch to whoever recorded CDs. Tube amps are much less
accurate at reproducing sound than solid state amps, so if you think it sounds better great, but it's not accurate. I personally prefer a good solid state amp. If you find a tube amp that makes you
cream everytime you use it more power to you, but more than likely it'll just sound
bad.
2.
Records produce a more
natural sound because they're
analog.
the lesser audiophiles are known to say this. Some even shelling out thousands on a high quality
turntable. Well all
albums are recorded straight to
digital nowadays, so you're getting an analog of a digital song.
3. My system has 30
woofers!
perpetrated by lesser audiophiles. They like adding big
cabinets with lots of
bass, well music isn't intended to have mind blowingly loud
bass, strike a good
balance.
i'll think of
more later.
