Vu meters make me ‘look’ at the music instead of listening to it........must be the reason why I also leave the grills on my speakers !

Now that was the one that set me off in Fanthorpes Hull when I was about 11 years old. It was there for ages. Mesmerizing.
None whatsoever. Music does that, not the nuts and bolts (and valves) that produce it.
I have never been into or remotely impressed with mine is bigger than yours, arguments.
I kind of miss the valve amp I used to own (Border Patrol). Other than that, it's just a bunch of boringly reliable black boxes.
Is it Simon Yorke?
Thom.
For the most part, this is me, but the kit does have to look neat in my room, but musical enjoyment is what does it for me. It’s amazing what a decent system can do with an album like Clapton Unplugged, it definitely gives me “the fizz”, although to be clear, “the fizz” in my head, chest and arms... not lower down.None whatsoever.

Fizz? Some of my old electrostatics fizzed, not that they were meant to!
I like big black lumps of musical happiness.

Ah the good old days! I haven’t had a shocking experience from audio equipment for ages, other than just how close some of it gets to the original sound and the sensations it evokes.I had an old valve amp that had bad earthing and insulation - it definitely gave me the fizz when I touched it.
