Hello Wayne - 

TW>> I don't know about that. Did you know that there are
TW>> Computer Mothewr Boards out there with Vacuum Tubes on
TW>> them. 

WC> I had not a clue. Some claim a softer sound due to the
WC> nature of the distortion produced on clipping by bi-polar
WC> transistor versus tube _sound_ and I agree with them to a
WC> point. However I see no reason a well designed FET
WC> transistor amplifier should perform any less well. 

I have no opinion as to whether tubes are better for sound
reproduction or not. I do think people with low powered digital
equipment are comparing that to higher powered tube type
amplifiers and assuming that the tube somehow makes the
difference. 

Very few people I know turn up the volume high enough to even
drive their speaker systems and most speaker systems are the
'weak link' and cannot reproduce the sound(s) that exist in a
full range orchestral arrangement. 

I know because I program them and know every sound of every
instrument playing and cannot hear them on other people's
equipment even when I can persuade them to turn up the volume
loud enough to drive the speakers.
