And "tube" doesn't automatically mean it sounds good.

They also fought against lowering the speed of phonograph records from
78.66 RPM to 33.33 RPM.

My definition of audiophile is someone who spent so much money on
hardware he can't really enjoy the tunes.- Hide quoted text -

the best sounding stereo I own, cost me $10- it was built in 1965, and
is a single ended tube design- dual monoblocks- in an Akai reel to
reel, model M8

it sounds better than my modern digital Technics solid state rack
system

even a "cheap" stereo tube set, sounds better than solid state- tubes
color the sound- solid state music has no soul


That's absurd. Perhaps true 40 or 50 years ago.
