Dan,

In our shared hobby ( passion ) as it relates to finding the best matched cables | cords | tubes as well as any other device which enhances our system is an ongoing journey | yet I've come to believe when knowledge | wisdom finally kicks in, we've to resort back to trusting in our own abilities to listen | more importantly know how to listen.

My loving wife Michelle has a thing for movies coming out of the 30s | 40s | 50s | 60s, as well as fond of most recordings from the 60s, I've come to believe this is mostly because said movies | recordings were primarily done with tubes in the recording chain, every time I've found myself watching these older movies beside her, the first thing that draws me in is the reproduction of the musical score..., I marvel in its beauty as the soloist in the orchestra can appear within their own little bubble within the venue, I've never found myself going..., did you hear those highs? | the midrange is off somewhat? | the bass is undeveloped and flabby, I simply am engaging by the quality and purity of the recordings themselves | as I've always been able to find some wonderful tracks by watching all types of movies, where on occasion I'm lucky to come away with 3-8 tracks I wouldn't have known about otherwise.

Even weirder is when I take into account how most of the movies from these era's, more often than not showed the recording chain consisted of items from Westrex ( Western Electric ) | RCA Photophone or Zenith, all of whom were some of the premiere tube manufacturers of said era(s) and of which I became more involved it the music itself sometimes and actually watching the movies were an afterthought | as I found myself seeking out said tunes with a vengeance.

The same holds true with our respective systems | we each try to find means of connecting to days and memories gone by, you know those s peaceful memories of family | friends where some have moved on, as well as recapturing having heard music via an old 1950s or 60s tube based console, and just laying there on the floor looking at record cover after record cover in a state of awesomeness | with the properly balanced cables | cords I believe said moments in time once again become a reality.

If but only in our dreams, or for a brief moment in time we can travel backwards knowing what we know how..., just imagine where our music collections | systems might consist of?. If only for a moment.
