The old SS vs Tube battle arises yet ,,once again,,, I thought that war was finished and over for all time, ,,guess not,,battle lines have been drawn.
I am a front line warrior for tubes.
For me, ss technology is ,,dinosaurish.
Now I will say quality tube gear is expensive, and NOS tubes are essential only fior pre tubes,,,power tubes new is just as good/ better than NOS (which are wayyy over priced)
A Tele pre tube is worth every penny. These are not over priced.
Seems everytime ~~The Final Nail in the old ss coffin~~ just doesn't seem to hold,,out come the ss gear rising from the grave.
Translation/bottom line : ss gear is over priced and over rated.
Note: this is not to say there is NOT some crappy tube gear out there.
2nd note: hard to find any ss gear to come close(midrange fq;'s in reference, not bass/nor highs) to a quality tube unit.
3rd note,,I've heard a tube amp intergrated retailed for $2100 back then, now like $3500+,, make music sound live in your room.
can you supply the name of a ss lab that can match that experience?
