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?

Best,

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

Well, now you know how all of us feel about you. By the way, if you are really interested in important music these days, it is BTS. I have no idea how they are recorded, if they are even recorded at all.
Are you channeling the dude from Taxi Driver now?  If so you’re good!
What dude? I do not drive a taxi.

BTS are big. At this point, way bigger than Jimi Hendrix.
Well, if dale is going to see them they must be big. I didn’t realize Bachman Turner Overdrive was still performing.
