what makes vacuum tubes the better choice for some application (most notably an amp for music) over more modern options?
In: Engineering
I had read that tube amps are more suitable for lower amplitudes like record player preamps or headphone amps, the reasoning being that they have a faster response than transistors and therefore make for a more accurate or brighter sonic picture. But that’s only at low volume and it doesn’t scale. I don’t know if this is just audiophile mumbo jumbo or not though.
