Subj: [kl] A bit off topic: vacuum tubes in amplifiers ??
Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2004 23:03:21 -0400

To Mark, Benjamin Maas, etc:

While my daughter was taking her first electric bass guitar lesson
today, a fellow in the store told me that transistorized amplifiers
cannot equal the range of response that an amplifier with vacuum tubes
has.

Is this true? Or is it more a matter of economcs (sufficient
transistor circuits to equal old-time vacuum tubes would cost more than
the average customer wants to pay). Or is it simply incorrect?

Thank you,
Ormond
