"If you ever fnd yourself being harassed by a techie who insists upon
criticizing you for your interest in vacuum tubes, there is an easy
answer.
He can be silenced with a simple question. Ask him if any early type
integrated circuits will still be manufactured and used in new
products in, say, the year 2030. If he's honest, the answer will be
"no". Then tell him that the frst-ever beam power tube is still
selling in the millions today, and shows no sign of becoming
obsolete.....after 60 years. That should get rid of him. "

"SOA of a KT88? Sufficient."

The truth usually prevails, despite the efforts of agenda-driven bigots to
hide
it.
And virtuoso violinists who can afford them (e.g. Itzhak Perlman) still
play
violins that were created centuries ago by skilled artisans. Isn't it
amazing
that all the "modern technology" has not been able to "improve" the
product:?

LOL !!!!

Limited psychologist.

Note that, as usual, the above analogy from our limited psychologist
doesn't demonstrate anything.
Our Limited psychologist make a confusion between the sound production
and the sound reproduction this leads him to compare a thousand years
old craft/industry/art with very recent technics of information processing.
(Note that despite of the amazing recent progress of the second I am not
sure that it can modelize the datas requested by the realization of the
first).

In fact the debate concerns the *hifi* reproduction of the above
marvellous instruments (timber, sonority...) and the *hifi* reproduction
of the music produced by the couple musician/instrument.
Note that one can also produce very nice sounds and music with a simple reed
flute but we are not sure to guarantee its *hifi* reproduction.

In fact our Limited psychologist analogy is just a 360° contribution (as
usual) which puts the question :
- which amp. would have prefer Stradivarius for the sound reproduction
of his instrument.

IMHO the Stradivarius experience is applicable to the elaboration of the
speakers construction, the quality of the drivers membrane... not to a
device in charge to amplify a signal.
