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


What do you guys think?

If transistors came first, and then decades later tubes were invented, would we have any tube amps we would call high end?

Wouldn’t they all fail to reach the height of performance and transparency set by transistor amps?

P.S. I love Conrad Johnson. I'm just wondering how  much of our arguments have to do with timing.

I am giving serious consideration of changing my diagnosis in the strange case of glubson to Tourette’s. I’m still trying to find the emoji for Tourette’s. Maritime still looks like a good solid 🍑 🍔 🍔
That is something. How likely is it that patrons of some saloon in Tombstone were speaking Latin to each other? I have not been in Tombstone in years, but even then it did not seem likely.

Vinum bonum, pax in domum. In fact, we used to substitute "vinum" but I am afraid that "algorithm" would go nuts.
geoffkait,

Leave diagnosing to those with more logical and systematic approach. Your way would not get you through CS, much less through anything in real life.
