Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?
What do you guys think?
If transistors came first, and then decades later tubes were invented, would we have any tube amps we would call high end?
Wouldn’t they all fail to reach the height of performance and transparency set by transistor amps?

P.S. I love Conrad Johnson. I'm just wondering how much of our arguments have to do with timing.

@atmasphere I'll have to look up the albums specifically mixed to avoid bass heavy material in the middle of the platter. And we shouldn't be confusing how a piece is mixed with how the format performs. I can't find any source that says vinyl does better than 80dB, while CD does about 96dB, and high quality digital does over 140dB. In fact, from what I'm reading, 70dB is considered by many to be optimistic for vinyl. And of course the medium degrades every time you play it. I just don't like it and there's plenty of reasons not to like it. |
glupson geoffkait, I doubt it is an organized conspiracy. More like aural blinding by the numbers. I was comforted that I am not the only one with similar results. Looking for official, I stumbled upon unofficial in some article in Stereophile. Enough of the readers' responses assured me I was not completely wrong. https://www.stereophile.com/cont >>>>Yes, I’m aware there are a lot like you. |
