I remember tubes! You could roast weenies on them while you practiced guitar. If things got funny, you wacked the box on the side, and that settled the tubes back in the socket for a better connection. And going to the store and plugging in a hand full of tubes into the tube tester, looking them up on charts. I remember that. Anybody want a bunch of 6V6GT's? I had a pile of them around here somewhere... they were kinda bluish inside.Hey, want that tube sound? Just turn the treble knob down... duplicates that high end rolloff, er, I mean, "warmth" of tubes.
(Have I made all the tube guys mad yet? LOL! OK, I will try some more.)
And I never did hear that grittiness, graininess that was supposed to be present in CD's.
I hate that crackle from vinyl. If I want snap, crackle, and pop, I will pour a bowl of Rice Krispies. But maybe that is because I don't buy JAPANESE vinyl and play it a belt driven turntable, on the proper tube amp. Of course, the amp is supposed to have bricks stacked on top of it, and rest on a heavy granite (or is that marble?) block.
Come on, guys, can't you take a joke?
