He hasn't heard 230 or 240 V I guess.

I like the 250 V my sockets usually deliver.

I'm in the process of getting real (!) high voltage for my gear. I think you know what it means,, guys (it's not going to be 100% legal so I won't say no more)..

Industrial consumers often get 10 kV or more. It makes sense if you're using megawatts of power. If you want to properly reproduce Disaster Area music, you probably should look at such options.

I forgot to mention, all my listening is done at 5800 volts.  

Electrostatic speakers?

This looks like a good current source.  Lots of current in the photo.

 

But that's communist current.

Probably good for communist tubes. I've gone SS 20 years ago.

Are you suggesting China isn't a solid state? You even seem to imply it is hollow. How subversive.

High-fidelity is the accurate reproduction of the recorded signal. If you add perception and taste you are no longer talking about high-fidelity.

I don't know what to call it though: "tailored-sound", "post-production"?

My-fi.
