Yes, I think loudness is a reflection of wanting to hear the dynamics and inherent dynamic expression that exists in “live” events! That is what tells our ear/brain that we are in the presence of a live event...walking past a bar with a live act, right? You know when it’s live...the dynamic range gives it away.
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.
