[QUOTE="affan66, post: 109015, member: 65"] van, true. But the major difference here is that: 1. We are creating a CD from a source by introducing gadgets like them tubes 2. We are reproducing the sound from a CD created from a source that went through the gadgets called tubes. Based on your points above, aren't we introducing another layer of coloration on top of the already colored MOSFETs? My point is simple. Scenario: Let's say in the original recording, the 80Hz frequency is way too low to hear, produced by say, a drum. Take that CD, put it through what WJ mentioned, and voila, we get the 80Hz frequency. What puzzles me then is where did the 80Hz frequency come from IF the original CD did not produce it in the first place? I am all for tubes but shouldn't we go back to the original master to produce the sonic nirvana standard CD and then reproduce that sound with the shortest, cleanest signal path? Anyway, I'd like to get a copy of the CD and see what gremlins come out of it. Regarding cable swaps: Yes, you get different sound, but isn't this called the sound signature (warm, flat, neutral, forward-sounding, hollow bla bla bla) but is it as per the original recording or as per what the audio engineer intended? It's like having the debate over LP vs CDs. We've been fooled. Like Saat, I'm going for MP3 and WMA :D My wallet feels heavier this way :P [/QUOTE]
