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,

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

You may have a point, maybe nobody would have designed anything with tubes.  I wonder what television would have looked like?

Tubes suck. I am laughing my ass off. Guess you just don't know tubes.

Happy Listening to my Lafayette KT-550 tube amp now with my DHT tube DAC and DHT tube preamp. And really enjoying the music.
