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

Just because two amps can be made to sound identical, it does not follow that all amps sound identical.

For example, I can cripple my class A amps and make them sound like any number of indistinguishable mid-fi offerings. I doubt if Walker would fail to hear differences between high end built-to-a-price-point and cost-no-object DIY.

The big problem with tubes is that there are damn few positronic ones.

Trolls were living under bridges before the internet. Wish they would go back. Tubes were the gateway to this little hobby of ours. 

Man, how clever. Suppress discussion with labels. Tubes suck. 

You may have a point, maybe nobody would have designed anything with tubes.  I wonder what television would have looked like?

Tubes suck. I am laughing my ass off. Guess you just don't know tubes.

Happy Listening to my Lafayette KT-550 tube amp now with my DHT tube DAC and DHT tube preamp. And really enjoying the music.

Tubes still suck.
