RE: arsclist Tubes will not die

["Doug Pomeroy" <pomeroyaudio@xxxxxxx>]

Could it be because nobody makes a real state-of the-art 
solid-state guitar amp, so you are comparing apples and grapefruit?
I always hear about how bad solid-state equipment is from those
who blandly compare the sound of a dumpy $49 component with that of
their favorite tube version, costing twenty to fifty times as much.
Give me a break!  Don't forget, there is (or was, before the tubes burned
out) plenty of crappy tube equipment which sounded awful.
People seem to forget that.

Also, I respectfully disagree with G. Newton who would have this type of
discussion banned from this list. We ARSC members are all very concerned
about sound-quality issues, naturally. I find I simply don't have time to
join other lists where I might find informed discussion of this subject.
