and a recording, unless a live recording, is always what the artist wants it to sound like. So, if you only like live, you shouldn't listen to albums that aren't live. a live show, and an album are two totally different concepts from most artists POV.

I guess that makes some sence, but tubes sound more live than solid state to me. and the lip-synced comment?

please explain your live vs. recording comment as it pertains to our discussion, or better yet, the lip-synced compaired to tubed amp comment.

This is so ridiculous that I can't even imagine where I would start. A lip-synced concert and listening to an album through a class A tubed amplifier aren't related in ANY WAY. I mean, the whole "I would rather listen live" comment was pointless enough, but this is awe inspiring in its...

what's the point of making it sound worse if you can make it sound better? and if you can get clapton to play some Cream songs for me in person right now, that would be awesome, and I'm sure better than my Grado headphones here at work.

so, do you think that eric clapton would listen to a tubed amplifier? I've recorded albums, and I prefer to listen to them on tubed amps. it sounds more like when we were in the studio listening to 2" tape through a trident (tubed) board, and tubed amps. The whole point of building a home...

i don't believe that color is distortion. distortion is basicaly clipping. A signal can be colored by filters or capacitors. so, no, I don't see them as the same thing. Color can be very nice. It can make a record sound like it's live. It can melt those frequencies together into one wall...

ok, I'm not a car audio guy, but I am a musician and a vintage Hi-Fi fan. I can normally tell the difference, but I've heard non-tubed amps (not digital but still analogue) that tricked me. Tube warmth is not distortion. that is just retarded. Tubes do distort, but depending on the tube this...

thanks for the reply. is there such a thing as an analogue preamp/eq that isn't too expensive?

am I asking a question with no answer or just a stupid question? I've posted these kind of questions in a couple audio forums, and I just get ignored. I would like to learn more about what my options are here.

So, my car was broken into, and my stereo stolen. Not the first time. I've decided to leave the hole in the dash, get 4 chan amp for my 5.25's and my 4x6's, and run a portable mp3 player. I don't know much about car audio amps. I know a little about amps in general, as I do PA and stuff, but...
