Am a good, radio
is still not that hard to build
or still find parts for. Then, like now Quality is always money. I
suspect it is distortion using transistors and
standard diodes or questionable IC's now days. <foot in mouth> With AM
radio all loud 80' rock and roll
people never noticed the distortion because it made that crap sound
louder and more impressive.</mouth in foot>
I think the real term is **listener fatigue**.
Could someone point me to harmonic distortion data, transient analysis or
some good old scope traces to prove that a couple of 6B4's in class A
push-pull deliver better sound than a pair of MOSFETs can? I'm not trying
to start an argument, but am not convinced that vacuum tubes are better
(having owned my share of tube amplifiers) than semiconductors.

P.S. I use #16 zip cord for my speakers.
