Vacuum tubes still rule!
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008The Vacuum Tube State of the Art Conference is to be held in Vancouver later this month. On the agenda is not surprisingly topics like vacuum tubes, transformers, magnetic tape recordings, turntables, dynamics and room acoustics. More surprising is the session about Digital Music Servers for the Home.
Although I have left both turn tables and tape decks long time ago I’m still a big fan of vacuum tubes. Not that they sound “right” from a measurement point of view, but they sound great! I still believe my Marshall Studio 15 tube amp outperforms any transistor amp when it comes to sound quality. It sounds much warmer and full of life! Also, I am currently working on a vacuum tube headphone amplifier DIY project :-) More news on that later.
