Bald statement with little evidence.
This is trolling. IGNORE
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.

@ianb52 made the point I was going to make. No one really talks about transient response when it comes to this argument. Solid state is much better at providing the power needed for rapid transient response or low bass control. At least in my limited experience. I am no engineer so keep that in mind. Play a few tracks by London Grammar on each type of amp and tell me which produces their music better. |
When we dont like someone posts , we pass over it... We dont write what you just wrote because as you said: it is pathetic... by the way the only one dominating this thread is Ralph the designer of Atmasphere with his expert opinion about S.S. design , tubes design, and class D design... Not the relatively ignorant me in these three design matters choices and trade-off ... 😊
