Post some snake oil.

This card is supposed to reduce nose between PCI cards for video capture or something.

I have no idea what that is an amp for, nor why it has so many tubes, but ask any guitarist and they'll tell you tube vs digital makes a difference. For audiophiles just listening to music? Probably not so much.

Tubs amps soft clip, the signal gets rounded out instead of getting cut off to fit a square wave.

The hendrix sound is like 5 amplifiers overdriven connected in series or some shit. Nigga was crazy.

if the audiophile is using a 400wpc amp with good capacitance and sensitivity, the signal funneled into the preamp should be as low in noise as possible

I hope you guys are ready for some shit.

"The Tunnelbridge is an elaborate, powered interconnect system. It features a stand-alone power supply unit that powers the Tunnelbridge interconnects for two purposes: first, to clone the incoming audio signal in real time, and second, to enable the two isolated circuits within the interconnects to create the conditions that allow distortion to arise only in relation to the cloned signal. This way the audio signal remains perfectly preserved, unaffected by distortion at all points through the entire cable length. The cloned signal, purposely created to be subjected to all distortion, is then intentionally discarded, never able to enter your gear."

In the sense that you have to mimic the strong distortion coming from an amplifier. The more extensive the non-linearity, the difficult and computationally intensive it gets. Naturally, these are designed to be distortion machines, therefore...

A read for those interested.

>This is the only cable that can provide the necessary bandwidth for displaying real-time readouts from my Flux Capacitor since I updated the multi 8 bit LED display to 4K. An unexpected side-effect in updating the display was realizing that I only needed to hit 87.5 MPH before, and I had been rounding up unintentionally this whole time. The lower speed threshold correlated nicely into a reduction in plutonium requirement. I don’t think I need to tell you, but the cost savings in my monthly plutonium bill has more than made up for what seems to be an initially high price for a cable. I’ve been using this cable for 47 years, and can tell you, these things are made to last!

I live with three guitarists and I think the entire breed is obsessed to a delusional level with attaining the perfect sound. Obviously there's some degree of pedals, good amps, etc that matter, but they go fucking crazy over shit that nobody who sees them live will be able to recognize, and that won't even be audible through normal people's shitty car stereos and computer speakers.

depends on what you're listening to and with what. There's a lot of cases where the tubes are overkill but not every one is.

So it purposefully corrupts an input and then discards it?

I wonder if there's any way to make it send the corrupted signal instead of the clean one.

Depends in the breed really. I work with guitarrists too, but them also have formal studies and know when something is snake oil.
Pedals and amps are another thing, mostly they want control over the timbre changes they could made. Audiophiles, instead, try to dispell anxiety about supposed bad audio quality.
