Where to go?

Juergen Knoop · 09:14 PM

lots of knowledge, but no girlfriend!

What amplifier technology impresses girls most?

Should I build a small and sneaky chipamp?
Or should I build a large, totally male, discrete design with large transformers and huge heatsinks?
Or maybe should I go for mysterious glowing tubes, they have a certain phallic quality though?!
What are you experiences?
Regards

edit: I'm sorry for the mistyping in the poll

Whatever kind they can't see, and doesn't impact their shoe/clothing/gifts budget.

When I got my souvenir t-shirt at European Triode Festival, I referred to it as a contraceptive. "Wear this and I'm never gettin' laid."

Forget amplifiers, work on your charm.

Uhh, girls don't like amplifiers. Have you ever heard the phrase "sausage fest"? It applies here....

never heard that phrase...do you suggest that building amplifiers is somewhat homohomo...can't pronounce that, it can't be!

Wow the girls I dated and the one I married (been married for 26 years shortly) love my audio system :-) She buys more music than me sometimes :-) Maybe they liked something else more, but they never let on..........

You forgot the forth (most common here) choice:
> Laying in pieces on the dining room table work-in-progress amp.

It doesn't get any sexier than that.

I'm with SY - work on your charm. Then when you're smooth as the devil you can buy a kit amp and get her to build it for you.
