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.

Not only that but fact is Amish kids love their high end car stereos in their barn. No joke. They bought them in the store I worked in back then all the time. Is Radio Shack high end enough? It is for Amish kids.

While on the topic I gotta say that may be the tastiest looking pizza I have personally seen in quite a while!   Go Amish!

kosst_amojan,

This light bulb analogy was quite funny. I agree with it although, if someone likes it, why not.

Dear Lee,

That is why I thought that pizza placed near the tube thread was appropriate.
