Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?

atmosphere,

I think you misunderstood my post. Tubes do exist and do have their place in a very small market spot. I enjoy hearing them from time to time, too. However, they are as obsolete as they get on the global scale. 40-year-olds have no idea, save for a few cool ones, what tubes are. Ask them why Powerpoint slides are called like that. Not many will have an idea. Tubes, slides, it is all somewhere in the past. You and I can babble about it, but tubes are long gone in any, as you mentioned, economic sense. Convenience, reliability, and performance of solid state ran them over. We can enjoy them, but we are not that big of a number.

>>>>Thanks, dale

I think that once tubes came along most would realize how thin and forward and hissy SS amps are. 

Bingo!

I just had another post removed. It is not "go figure" anymore. I have been insulted enough on these forums, while attempting to stay polite that having posts removed that come nowhere close to what I have been subjected to is making me wonder what is the point of participating anymore.


By the way, moderators, ridiculing certain disability over and over again is not cool at all. Take notice.
