Some discussion of voicing DIY tube amps: snip

Interesting thread. I guess it illustrates how far away valve/tube
amplifiers still are from the ideal of just being "an amplifier." Show
me two amplifiers that (really do) sound different and I'll show you *at
least* one which is not behaving as ideally it should.

Depends upon what the user *wants* I guess... ;-

Long live choice.


My vote tends to go for *informed* choice. :-) Hence I'd like people to
try and understand the physical and engineering reasons why there may be
differences. i.e. not just "I tried 'A' and 'B' and preferred 'A'", but
"having made appropriate investigations we found that 'B' caused the amp to
roll off LF, or produce instability, or whatever."

Slainte,

Jim
