Yep, the author seems to believe in what amounts to being perpetual
motion:

I that that anybody who like DePlama believes in perpetual motion and
doubts
the law of conservation of energy would be a good candidate as a true
believer in the superiority tubed audio gear.

Yeah. I hear they are going to switch back to using tubes
with all of the electronics aboard the Space Shuttle
(although this will require additional booster engines), and
word has it that they will be incorporated into the latest
cell phones, too. The phones will be carried in a back pack,
and the battery will be pulled along behind the user in a
small wagon.

I don't know how long the batteries in that wagon will last, given the
complexity of a modern cell phone. In fact a full tubed implementation of
a
modern cell phone would probably fill a good-sized building and require a
major municipal power plant to keep it running.

No, what is more likely is the kind of tubed cell phone that guys like
Sackman believe in. You take a regular cell phone and add a tubed
amplifier
to its audio output. The tubed electronics *mitigate* all the negative
effects of the perceptual coding and micropower electronics, delivering a
nice warm sound to the included active ear-trumpet.

I expect to see a glowing review of a so-called tubed cell phone in an
upcoming issue of SP, TAS, etc.


For all your ranting and raving about 'legacy' technology, you really ought
to do something about your web design. What you have now is so 'last
millenium'.
