Why so many tubes?

“Why not having 1 or 2 cylinder high performance cars?”

I think it is a question of emphasis. All the details are there in the live environment, but typically they don’t stand out as much as the tend to on some systems. My experience is that tube systems frequently get the emphasis right. Solid state tends to spotlight the details.

In 1979 I put together my first assault putting together a high end system by taking out my first loan for $5,000 (that is $18,871 in today’s dollars) for. Threshold s500 amp, my system was all solid state. Over the years of continuously investing and learning, and trading up… one by one each of my components were swapped out for tube equipment. Now, by far the best system I have ever had… all of my components are tubed. (Click on my user ID to see my systems).
