well.. now, tom, cause i respect your advice, and you've certainly helped me out.. i'm gonna agree with a lot of things you said. well.. not only cause of that.. i think you're right in most regards. true true.. there is DEFINITELY a whole lotta bullshit out there.i wonder too, though, how different the animals being used by the old codgers were too-- elderly drivers are a far cry from the plasticised and run-it-to-the-margins-of-acceptability standards of todays drivers and cheapy caps. i would think that paper loosens up faster than bextrene, and oil caps faster than film caps.. but i can't prove it. weird science and wierder results! mebbe.. right?
besides.. you know i love all those fabled old western 'lectric and altec guys.. so yer hitting below the belt!
but even still-- when you're building a new crossover with new parts-- don't you hear differences as electrical components get accustomed to a circuit- like caps and insulators? mebbe that's all crap too.. i dunno-- but with all my tube gear, things definitely change over time, to my ear.. but speakers are not plates and grids either.
i know there's a ton of neurosis out there for certain-- but things do eventually become stable from just doing their thing-- time and audibility of such things? well.. i guess it just depends how hard you LOOK for those things.. and how self important the listener! and VAST changes.. well, no, I haven't experienced vast changes: that's without QUESTION a product of the selfish superlative culture of audio mags-- but in a hobby where some measure their happiness in tens of thousands of dollars for incremental changes in texture.. well.. folks do have a little right to be critical- so i think 'vast' is a personal definition, if not always informed by sanity!
well.. my 1 1/2 cents!
