      100% agree, we should avoid trying to denigrate other audiophiles

      I don't think it is, but I've noticed that many people use SETs with speakers that have far too little efficiency to really hear what...

      You might consider then that SETs have the highest noise floor of any kind of amp. If you run DC on the filament of the power tube this...

      To me, the ambiance is the background overwhich the next notes are presented, inherent to each performance and space. The lower the...

      So we have very different uses of the phrase! When describing room ambience I use 'room ambience', 'hall reflections' and perhaps the...
