Knuckle draggin' heavy equipment mechanic turned Gen Tech.
(2) GE LM6000 natural gas fired turbines.
Been stumbling through audio for as long as I can remember....lol (that's not saying much)
My "system" is/was tube based, but I can't stand the sound that most people assume vacuum audio sounds like.
Tone, decay, crisp, immediate, natural, organic....yes
Blurry, soft, mush, muddy...hell no
I prefer tubes for mids/highs, but my choice of speakers (multiple drivers = deep impedance dips) + large room, preclude that optionInteract
