And again the same can be said for vinyl, I much prefer listening to
vinyl, and think (as others such as Keith do), that the resultant sound
is more engaging, and produces a stronger effect of "being there". but I
don't for one minute think that in absolute terms the incredibly crude
process of playing vinyl will provide anywhere as electrically accurate
reproduction of the originally signal.

I agree with this, I find that if I put a CD on after a while I tend to
wander off and potter about while still listening. With vinyl I stay put
until the music stops, something keeps me there that I don't get from a CD
(and I do own some albums on both vinyl and CD).
I'm getting a valve amp soon but that doesn't mean that I'm getting rid of
my SS amp as I can see myself switching between the two for different
types of music.



Phil, by your own admission, you know bugger-all about music or audio kit -
how TF do you manage to post more common sense in the above than 90% of the
crap shovelled into this ng???

I will be in touch 'direct' later (quite a bit later, at this rate) about
our awaited amps - expect nothing to arrive before Mon/Tue next week. Have
you been asked to email Proelektra with your postal address? If not, do so
immediately.....

Later.....
