Tvad, tube gear has reliability issues..bad solder joints, tubes that only last for a short time and sometimes you buy brand new tubes that are already bad, capacitors blowing out and loud poping noises that come and go at any time. Also tubes degrades very quickly (((sound wise)))
solid state vs tubes
has anyone compared a tube amp to a solid state amp and discovered that the diffference sonically between them was undetectable. ? if so what was the tube amp and what was the solid state amp ?
the reason for the question is the basic issue of the ability to distinguish a tube amp from a solid state amp.
this is especially interesting if the components were in production during the 90's , 80's or 70's.
if the components are in current production the probability of such aan occurrence might increasea.
why own a tube amp if there exists a solid state amp that sounds indistinguishable from it ?
