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,

E

P.S. I love Conrad Johnson. I'm just wondering how  much of our arguments have to do with timing.

Wait, a new market for mountebanks: tube dust!  😜😱

I can well imagine that dust from old tubes will imbue new ones with sonic magic. 🌬
