Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?

I thought Class D was transistors. 😳

This thread is a HOOT(on a number of levels)! To me, there’s just something about a signal, that’s been passed through a vacuum(dare I use the term, "ELECTRON tube"?), rather than silicon. Not that I don’t have SS, in my system. And, I’m even a clean, undistorted, no artificial color/flavor, no sugary glaze, kinda guy. It’s just that those 18 valves, between my two main amps and CD player, sound like the real thing(also, on a number of levels).  It's like cooking or building a car/motorcycle/plane engine.  If you pick the correct components/ingredients(tubes, caps, resistors, etc) and mix them together right, you'll be happy with the outcome.  BTW: I think some that lurk these pages, just enjoy being intentionally obtuse. Perhaps being argumentative/contrary, is all they have left? Happy listening(yeah, all of you)!
