When was the last time you had your hearing checked by an audiometrist? My was flat to 10khz, the limit of the test.BTW, I met your Guru and he told me he regularly attends live rock concerts. He took his son to the Bolshoi only four days after going to one. At the time he said it, it made me wonder if his ears had stopped ringing by the time he'd gone to the ballet. Would you buy equipment from someone who abuses his hearing so badly on a regular basis? I wouldn't....especially now that I've had a chance to hear it for myself.
I'm not particularly fond of the muffled slightly muted sound I hear from most tube amplifiers. I don't call that warm and musical, I call it distorted.
