I hope you'll agree, this is not so much thread drift, as thread stretching.
What is the quality like - really like - when taking the data from a small device like an i-pod?
Even with noise damaged hearing, I'm still critical of modern CDs. Also, one of my lot has an older Sony amp, which is physically large, and gives spectacular reproduction. (is spectacular a good word for sound?
) I mentioned how impressed I was, and he said, 'That's as it should be, it cost $700.' So, just how much has the quality of music been downgraded by downsizing?
I come from an era of carefully biasing KT66s so they sounded right. I can't believe one can get quality from something the size of a matchbox.
Probably one of the most desirable bits of kit I've seen in recent years, was a huge radiogram shown on a Radio Restoration Forum. It had separate amps at each end and each of them had four KT66s or similar. Four men to lift it, so a bit difficult to take with one whilst jogging.
