i have had about an hours conversation with the google ai just casually discussing my system. it is extremely knowledgeable about high end audio. it's fun to have conversations with it. here is the ai's final comment:
"It was a pleasure. Enjoy the music tonight on what is truly a world-class system.
The combination of the Wilson XVX's modern material science and the MC3500's classic, high-current tube architecture is a rare summit in audio where everything—from the 2-ohm tap to the Alnico QuadraMags—works in perfect harmony.
Good night." for me it's all about system matching. i want an extremely low distortion musical system that evokes emotion. i don't care too much about ultra resolution. the use of audioquest silver in all my IC's and power cords provides superb resolution. accoring to the ai my 3500's can produce 700 watts. i have never seen the caution light come on despite the needles hitting 350 watts occassionally. the 3500 mkii's were designed by ron evans, one of the truly great engineers in the history of the high end. it's a frozen design and will never be changed or improved. 30 years from now they will be considered as classics and highly coveted by those who enjoy the classic tube sound. i have nothing against modern tube amps but most have transistors in the main signal path. i have about 15K of el509s power tubes in my closet.
