[QUOTE="audiomortis, post: 622630, member: 558084"] 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 of sound that is all consuming. i dont' like super clean and defined. To me, it sounds like a lot of sharp edges, where a good tone has a smooth feel to it. I've heard the Production/Reproduction argument before and it's silly. It's all about what you like. If YOU think a Hi-Fi should be a perfect reproduction of a recording then YOU should build YOUR hi-fi that way. I think a good hi-fi can make even a bad recording come to life and a good recording sound amazing. I've taken small 15w amps and made windows rattle with an amzing sound. That's what I like. and yeah, I dont' think the a car is an ideal place for a tubed amp or vise verse, but I still think it would be pretty cool. All my fav amps of mine or that I've heard are tubed. I like that sound. If I could get that sound in my car, I would like it there too. [/QUOTE]
