In Reply to: RE: Balderdash, tone controlled solid state does not and possibly will not equal vacuum tube circuits. HF has posted by Tony Lauck on July 23, 2012 at 09:17:20:
lifelike than even today's high resolution digital does. And, I didn't say it was magic I said it's like a magic trick, the whole point is to fool the auditory sense into believing something that is not real.
The best records from the golden age of stereo recording in the 50s were all done on tube gear. That is not to say that a quality recording could not be made today but unfortunately there is no economic incentive to do so. Also, when one starts with forty channel multi-track mixers and digital compressors the temptation to do ill is apparently too great and sound quality goes south in a hurry as over 90% of the current media market painfully demonstrates. Thank you, Theodore Sturgeon.
Lastly, all the solid state proponents disdain for vacuum tubes does not seem to have adversely affected Audio Note and Jadis sales any or for that matter the thirty other companies I listed that sell vacuum tube DACs. Plus, the fact that here we are in the second decade of the 21st century and vacuum tubes are still being made; if you had told someone that back in the 1970s they would never have believed it.
