Tubes have there place in audio just as harley davidson's have there place in motorcycles, obsolete as either are.

If they have their place they are NOT obsolete. Why don't you go tell a big biker on a Harley next time you see him that his bike is 'obsolete'.

You're an audio snob //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Who isn't....

Boo... My Uncle owns a Harley Dealership and sells a ton of them for them being junk. And my 883 Sportster (100th year edition) seems to keep going up in value... How strange.... $7174.78 investment....

They are obsolete. Transistors do the exact same thing better in every way, minus the subjective factors. Its got nothing to do with their popularity.

Tell that to any RF engineer and see what he says //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

But even for audio, is something "better" just because it measures cleaner and doesn't take up as much space?

Since the invention of the steam engine, sailboats are pretty much useless commercially, but can you say a speedboat is always better than a sloop? Well, it depends on what you're using it for. Horses were pretty much put out of business by the internal combustion engine, yet there's no shortage of people that still ride them for pleasure. Digital audio has been around for 20+ years, but why is it that LP's are gaining in sales over the past few years?

My point is...be careful about obsolete technologies //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Don't get so objective that it makes you blind to anyone's else's viewpoints, some of which may be valid.

Using old shit has its appeals, its true for everything. If obsolete means something is no longer in use, than the word really holds no meaning. Tubes are technologically inferior, assigning comforting adjectives to their sound doesnt change that fact.

I don't really care if people like or dislike tubes. Its their money. Hell, Im sure some people enjoy getting pissed on, but I only rent those movies when my girlfriend is out of town.
