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.... |
What a fatuous question. Why do people drive old cars? Play records? Tape decks? |
My point, exactly. His question and implied answer were fatuous. |
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....
Tubes suck. -Lee Deforest⚰️ |
Who am I to argue with “de forest.”
tubes suck. 🧟♂️🚽🃏 |

@glupson. Well, it is newsworthy. L. Deforest

I thought those gals died. |
Jesus, how often do you encounter clipping? -Lee Deforest. |

Channeling Lee Deforest-“Tubes suck.” ⚰️🔚 |

|
Yeah, really. Tubes won’t be around much longer. 🚽 |
|
“When I was alive, I concluded tubes sucked.” -Lee Deforest |
And, like murder, the truth will out.... |
|
“Tubes suck,”. Lee Deforest, channeled by the Kat thingy. |
Uh, in Hades, his punishment is to stand in the lake of boiling blood, listening to a tube amp, err, imp. |
Pseudoscience, speculation and conjecture, sprinkled with subjective horse poop.
Tubes are dead. Lee Deforest, somewhere in the Lake of Boiling Bloid. |
More pseudoscience, speculation and conjecture predicated upon ad hominems. Shame on you.
You cite nothing other than your worthless, methane imbued ipse dixit. 💩
Many, I suspect, like me left tubes in the late sixties, and have used solid state ever since, hence your non sequitur. Regardless of physiologic changes, tubes suck. -Lee Deforest |
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.” |

Wrong sense-tubes suck. -Dante |
That, and many other places, including Svalbard to see the bears! |
@Dave. I’m no misanthrope. I had a very complete secondary school education, followed by university, and professional school, then a higher degree. |

Tubes suck. -Lee Deforest. |

Oh, he wouldn’t know a differential diagnosis from a hole in the ground. Scroll in the ground?💩🐁 |
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....😁 |
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. 👍 |
