[Amps] New Panasonic Tube Radio

[RICHARD GEORGE]

If they sound "different" then solid state then one or the other is distorted. A real amplifier reproduces 100% of what is put in to it. Tube audio is a bunch of BS for the un-educated.

  There's a heap of small manufacturers building tube gear.  A few companies
  are selling at more-or-less realistic prices, but most are selling their
  tube products for enormously high prices.

  There's a manufacturer selling an amplifier, using a pair of 304TL's in
  parallel, for $85,000.  Doesn't make much smoke, either.

  I still use tube gear in my audio system.  I can't say tubes sound "better"
  than SS, but they do sound different.  And. to me, at least, the tube gear
  is more fun.

  Besides, aside from my boatanchors, justifies my tube-checker.
