@hilde45 and @mahgister go out on a parking lot and settle it. Oh and record it for TikTok and send us a link.
Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better?
Yes tubes are more involved and require periodic maintenance. Hybrid tube components need not apply, these are really solid state.
Tubes are better for multiple reasons and yet the world and the trade prefers solid state. Those rare audio shops that are geared toward stereo listening and serious connoisseurs tend to Focus more on tubes. Those in business who like to improve volumes tend to offer solid state. All the YouTube channels looking to improve their business tend to be solid state. Maybe because tubes require much more expertise to sell, and there's lesser and lesser to go around. Solid state is more of a fast food commodity.
Tubes are difficult for businesses due to all the maintenance and complexity so you see it less often. Much much easier to sell hybrids or solid state.

😀 In the past there have been so many outrageous claims in the audio world that I doubt anyone takes printed claims as gospel in the audio world. We all have to take the equipment home and play it. I think this is because there's been a really big disconnect between the printed specs and what we hear for since the 1970s at least, since solid state began to dominate the market. BTW, to add to my outrageous claims there is a review published in last month's Hifi+. So you can see what an allegedly independent reviewer thinks. |
@mahgister lol |
@atmasphere , do you have distortion measurements that you can share with us comparing your tube and class-D amplifiers? |
