Audio Show Experiment.......

At the next big audio show, have some tube "naysayer" disguise himself as a fledgling tube amp designer, and have a room at the show unveiling "tube amps" from this new company.

But instead of real tube amps, use solid state or class T products disguised as "tube amps". The tubes themselves only need to have the glow from the filaments functional. (Don't forget to include the "transfomers", which could be just encased dirt or lead shot.) And the system voiced to sound like "tubes." Use the typical fare for speakers, cables, tweaks, and recordings at the show.

Then afterwards, check out the post-show reports from the high-end journals and websites. And on these forums.

I'm not saying this would prove anything either way, but I think it would be an interesting experiment.
