I think valves and vinyl are better than CD and SS, thats just my

doesn't work anymore than saying its ok to have a preference.

Can't we just agree to differ, I know, silly idea....


Nicely said, Nick.


Agreed.


I like valves cos they light up - and, for me, its more fun to build valve
amps than s/s. Sitting here, I have a NAD 3020, a pair of Crimson 530
monoblocks, a Quad 33/303 system and a home-built SE triode-connected 6L6
"power" amp (must be almost 2 watts out of its cheap "music-centre"
OPTs...) and at the moment I prefer the latter! My musical appreciation is
probably distorted by the fact that I built it. ;-)


*Never*.....!!?? ;-)


Sometimes I prefer CD as the source - its more convenient -
and sometimes I prefer vinyl for the sound (my vinyl source is better than
my CD player). There is definitely room for both.


Agreed.


Personally, I don't mind whether my amp has a flat response etc so long as
it sounds ok to me... :-)


Agreed.
