Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?
What I find interesting in the Tubes versus transistor debate, is the prices of vintage items. A stereo 70 goes for much more than it did new where as a 30 year-old solid state amp is hard to give away.

@bimasta  it's nice to run into somebody with an FRMC201.  I have had one for a while when I picked it up on a curiosity. I absolutely love it, it is fantastic Mounted on an ET2.   It is an air core  design with I believe .17 mV output.
