I agree with mapman. Tubes were a step along the way to where we are today - which is tubes. Sometimes in order to create you must first destroy. Even John Curl likes tubes. He says they just sound right.
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.
