Tubes, in my view, are a waste of time and money, but it is a hobby.... |
I began with tubes decades ago, and was glad to see them wane.... |
My point, exactly. His question and implied answer were fatuous. |
What a fatuous question. Why do people drive old cars? Play records? Tape decks? |
Man, how clever. Suppress discussion with labels. Tubes suck. |

I grew up with tubes. Pure dee crap. In fact, I was in school with one of De Forest’s grandsons, for what that’s worth. 👀💩🚽 "As a growing competitor to the tube amplifier comes now the Bell Laboratories’ transistor, a three-electrode germanium crystal of amazing amplification power, of wheat-grain size and low cost. Yet its frequency limitations, a few hundred kilocycles, and its strict power limitations will never permit its general replacement of the Audion amplifier." – 1952 |
Wax cylinders, that’s the ticket, and when combined with acoustic playback, ne plus ultra! 💩 |
Sometimes you are funny. I used Collins radios for years. They went solid state long before that time. |
Sorry, pal, I was flying transports with solid state Collins gear. |
Ha, ha. 🖕🏻Nah, they just threw money at us. 💰 |
Tubes suck. I listen to classical. Tubes suck. |
As a cognoscenti cum afficianado, tubes suck. 🎱 |
I think I earlier mentioned I was in school with one of Lee Deforest’s grandsons. He often quoted the old man’s last words: “Tubes suck.” ⚰️ |

And, 2016 came and went....

Jesus, how often do you encounter clipping? -Lee Deforest. |
“When I was alive, I concluded tubes sucked.” -Lee Deforest |
And, like murder, the truth will out.... |
Uh, in Hades, his punishment is to stand in the lake of boiling blood, listening to a tube amp, err, imp. |
I agree, your so called contribution is simple minded palaver. |
He shall learn the maxim, “As you are now, I once was. As I am now, so shall you be.” |
@Dave. I’m no misanthrope. I had a very complete secondary school education, followed by university, and professional school, then a higher degree. |
Ex turpi causa non oritur actio. -Lee Deforest. (Tubes suck, a learned treatise)

How about it.
What if the best part of Geof hadn’t run down the sheet? 🙀. -Lee Deforest |
And, the cars would be larger.
What if Lee Harvey couldn’t hit a barn at 100 yards...what if Lee Deforest had gone straight to the transistor....😁 |
Then stop implying things. 🔚 |
Hey, I resemble that remark. |
Ha, ha. What? Engine noise....👩🏿✈️ |
Well, at least my DNA is intact. 👀 |
Ha, ha, it’s true, my hearing is shot, but at least I didn’t get my DNA strained through a sheet. And, I do love peaches and hamburgers. 👍 |
Ad hominems are weapons of the ignorant. The irony of the use of ad hominems is only exceeded by the lack of skill in application. |

“Tubes suck.” -Lee Deforest, a deathbed epiphany. |
Misleading.
Hi, Dave, I saw your mother..in a dog show. 💋 |
Pizza warmed with tubes is more natural in taste. -Lee Deforest
