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.

Scientists wonder why we haven’t detected any other intelligent civilization in the universe...based on how we communicate on this site, perhaps all emerging intelligent beings wind up spiraling down and destroying themselves before they can make contact with another civilization.  Just seems to be a side effect of overly large brains 🧠. Except for a few that have undersized craniums, 🤡whom I won’t mention 🤡, that should do just fine!

geoffkait,

"...since you’ve obviously been following the wrong, you know..."

I have to agree with this. I have been following your posts about technology and whatever else and they are, you know....mostly wrong.
