Audio Amps: Glass tube or Solid State ?
I have used many tube amplifiers and those using solid state
electronics in my Hi-Fi Stereo music hobby over the years and
now use a 80 watt output Carver receiver/amp. I have read in
some magazines that most music-audio fans perfer to use the
expensive glass tube amplifiers that cost thousands of dollars
because they say the sounds produced are better, more dynamic,
more true to the concert hall sound but to my ears, there is not
a whole lot of difference between tube amps and solid state ones
in sound/music except the cost of all of these high end amps.
What do you use and what is your opinion of this?
