Comment on How Tube Amplifiers Work

Comments

Tubes are definitely inferior to transistors in a lot of ways, but nothing sounds like them (FETs come close). Plus, there's the comforting glow of those little glass bottles that just seems right.

My favorite, kind of ironic, advantage of tubes over transistors is that it's easier to source replacements.
