Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

Good to know that Henry had an "Epiphany"...

he certainly could have benefited from one!

As one who both knows and likes Dennis, and has heard his amps a number of times and has actually met dr lowmu and found him to be quite a nice fellow, I try to stay out of all of this.

I’ve heard many of the amps that are supposed to be “legendary” and have met and know many of the better builders, having attended about a dozen CES’s, a couple VSAC’s and all of the RMAF’s plus a Stereophile show or two.

All that said doesn’t really mean much in the larger context, because my taste in audio might not be the same as anyone who posts here.

What I am sure of after all of this is that there is a shred of truth in many of these things from low DCR power supplies to silver capacitors.

I had the pleasure to meet Kondo San at CES many years ago and again shortly before his death at last years (2006) CES. I feel that musical reproduction is far more than just engineering theory but I also do not feel an obligation to defend my opinions to others who may or may not have had the good fortune to hear all that I have been blessed to hear.

The most sensitive measuring device is not a scope or a spectrum analyzer or even our ears. It’s our heart.

Whatever piece of audio gear allows the music to reach our soul and trigger an emotional response is Ultra Hi-Fi or whatever you wish to call it. If you do not agree it matters not a whit to me, as ones experiences in the area of a very personal nature to be shared with friends, if at all.
