Here's a link to a lengthy discussion of the virtues of the tube amplifier, from IEEE magazine.

I too got into electronics back in the tube days. I am a ex general class amateur radio op and used to have a 2nd class FCC radiotelephone license.

At one point I made my living doing amp repair.

However, I don't have a tube unit (of any kind, except a TV picture tube) in my house. Everything I have is solid state and I'm really not interested in going back.

I'm not saying tube technology is bad, just my personal preference.

Great article,
Tubes are way before my time. But I sure enjoy learning new things.
Thanks for the post.
