Ive put pink quartz on top of several of my pieces of gear. It really brings out the upper mids,but diminishes bass and weight. I know some users who swear by a mixture of various rocks that work in combination with each other.

Don't knock it 'til you try it I guess, need to keep my mouth shut and let people just do their thing. Just hope users will experiment with putting pink quartz on top of their gear before they are convinced to dump sand into it...

I can just see the sand getting into pots and switches and messing them up.
Sand has the tendency to get into everything. Sex on the beach not a good idea.

Hey now, beggars can't be choosers over here!

Reminds me of one of the greatest quotes in film history.

Something profound needs to be posted on this page. Or at least some amp porn! Glenn??

Hi Velozity,
Here is an interesting concept that everybody can relate to: Suppose I was to tell you a beautiful story? Once, twice - three times....you'll be bored; you heard it already - you know already what it is all about. One more time and it becomes really boring - enough!
Now, why is it that you can listen to a favorite song over and over again, many many times, day after day, and you don't tire of it?
And when you get new equipment or tubes etc, you play that same song or songs again to see if you can hear more detail or impact or whatever - you don't get bored and you don't tire of it?
Why?

I really have nothing new but here is a pic of my 15 year old preamp after switching the preamp tubes.
From #26 to E424 they are quieter then the 26. Made this when DH labs 20ga solid silver wire was $4 a foot.
No way could I afford it now

Here is what I will say about my experience with this thread.

I first came because it is the most tube-knowledgable thread on Head-Fi, and being a tube nut, I wanted to talk tubes! But what kept me coming back is the welcoming, humble, honest, and funny group of Head-Fiers that keep the thread alive. For better or for worse, my time spent on Head-Fi has probably quadrupled since I started hanging out here, as has my post output (sorry guys!). The knowledge I have gained here talking with Glenn and other regulars has inspired me to follow my own DIY pursuits...and empty my wallet at an unprecendented rate

So I will say thank you to Glenn for hosting and offering his amplifiers to the community, and thank you to everyone else for the great conversation and friendship

I used to be real keen on tube porn, but haven't taken any shots in a while. I'll just repost the gif I made a few months ago.

Thank you Sir Mordy, your profundity is well noted!

And my enlightened answer is, because music creates an innate emotional response that conversation does not. There is no "answer" or "idea" in music that, once understood becomes learned. With music we respond by feeling and not comprehension. Ergo, when that feeling is good we never get.tired of it. On the contrary we desire more. ...And that's where the rabbit holes come in.
