Tube Power vs Solid State Power
I continually hear Tube power is more powerful than Solid State Power. IE; “A 20 watt tube amp’s power is like a 60 watt Solid State Amp’s Power” and so on… Is this true ???
I always think of the “What’s Heavier, a pound of Feathers or pound of Rocks story?” A pound is a pound right ?
Maybe someone could offer some thoughts and explain if this is true or not.
Thanks

Tubes distort on odd order harmonics if I recall. Whereas SS distorts on even order which is less desirable to the ears. Thus, some believe the tubes sound better You're on the right track, but reversed it. Even order harmonics are natural, and tend to be more tolerable, which is why many prefer tubes. |
