"Really??? Then how do you explain the fact that almost all vinyl lovers use tube equipment if tube amps came into
prominence with the advent of CD?""No, the emergence of tube amps had absolutely nothing to do with CD (though SE amps might IMHO). Do you
think the majority of people buying high-end gear actually bought CD players in the beginning? "Your right, it took 12-13 years for me to find a digital front end that was close to my TT.
"No, what caused the emergence of tube amplifiers were breakthroughs in design: the advent of better designed
output transformers, higher powered tube amps for our horribly inefficient speakers and the recognition of the
importance and use of better passive parts such as the use of polypropylen and -styrene caps."Another advance is the availability of high quality vacuum tubes. 5-10 years ago I found it very difficult to find good tubes. Today it is much easier to find excellent new tubes as well as NOS tubes. I thank the WWW for that!
