| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? I just had another post removed. It is not "go figure" anymore. I have been insulted enough on these forums, while attempting to stay polite that having posts removed that come nowhere close to what I have been subjected to is making me wonder wha... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? atmosphere,I think you misunderstood my post. Tubes do exist and do have their place in a very small market spot. I enjoy hearing them from time to time, too. However, they are as obsolete as they get on the global scale. 40-year-olds have no idea... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? dave_b,My feelings are not hurt by my post being removed and I can stop participating at any time, but it is peculiar what flies and what does not here. So far, I have been flagging only posts that call for death, suicides, and such.There is lots ... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Tubes were a step along the way to where we are today, which is not tubes to any meaningful extent worth mentioning anywhere but circular threads on "audiophile" forums. There was no sign of tubes on today's Apple conference and Bose does not seem... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Not me, geoffkait, not me. My school was for free. We learned about crystals, rocks, counting, you name it. I apply that basic knowledge on this thread. It is, in fact, enough for discussions here. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? "People that care to listen without bias can easily hear that tubes are superior, when designed properly. Ask John Curl."Some of us, me included, would not argue about sound signature of tubes as often being much more pleasing. However, I would pr... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? "You don't have to know anything about engineering to understand this- its purely economic. If tubes were really inferior, they'd be gone, but the marketplace keeps them around."Not many major electronic products seem to use tubes anymore. Not eve... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? atmosphere,"This is a common strawman. There’s no rock."I have a feeling that kosst_amojan was alluding to diamond that is often, if not always, at the tip. I have no idea where cartridge manufacturers source it from, but many a bride-to-be likes ... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers skyscraper,Tidal is a music streaming service via Internet. Many people here (Audiogon) use it and seem to be satisfied with music quality. It does contain fairly large collection of music, but most of what I wanted was not there.I mention this as... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? I am glad to be of service.This is the month for Erdheim-Chester awareness.I may be hardheaded, but have no rocks in it yet. | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? Being a crystal and a rock is not mutually exclusive.Rocks and crystals come in various sizes and weights.Degree of friction does not influence classification into rocks or crystals.I have not learned about Metallica in elementary school so I cann... | |
| Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first? They never die. They become Nu. | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Try Revel Performa F 228 Be. Also see if you can find Sonus Faber. Olympica III are over your budget, but they can be found (new!) on sale for about $10000 from time to time. They are definitely worth a listen.As an earlier poster suggested, call ... | |
