Chapters: 00:00 Introduction/Specs 02:05 Build/Design/Layout/Filters/Power 06:30 Sonic Impressions 11:35 vs Drop Cavalli Tube Hybrid CTH 12:40 Conclusion 13:05 Exit Stage Right I am not a professional sound engineer, producer, musician, or vocalist, etc. I have not done any scientific research, measurements, or in-depth testing of any kind; just my own listening, comparing and internet reading/research. I have limited, real-life experience with recording, mixing and mastering gear. I have been involved since my teenage years with various churches as an amateur sound booth technician. Please take these thoughts, opinions and reasonings as just that, my honest audiophile thoughts, opinions and reasonings. Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thehones...
