Why are tubes audio amplifiers so much better than transistors amplifiers ?

SW is coming back!

Finland has 'legalised' hobby broadcasting!

Think about it, they even write on the walls that retrograde technology is better than innovations and I understood that they write it as a hobby!! But they don't know that a hobby as such can't show anything divine or anything else!! I wrote only to put an end and forever to the nonsense that many write about outdated technologies, I explained at length where you have to stop with fantasy and see what is real without believing in golden spirits (cables worth half a million euros!!) and in magical powers that could come from a glass puppet that is the valve, that's all!! Anyway, thanks for answering me, I don't have much time to argue, always remembering that improving brings different satisfactions than being obsessed with now archaic technologies!! Bye everyone, good luck guys!!

you don't have to make 3 identical posts. I understand.

Everyone but guitar geeks and some(extreme) audio geeks know that solid state is better than tube in terms of overall performance.
Even I know that. Why I use 6L6GC tube amps? Nostalgia, fun of made my own, and as a heater for the winter.
I'm planning my 829B amp. I'm collecting parts. I've got the Tango transformers. All that's left is my motivation.

It makes me laugh, because some guitar enthusiasts will even sell Bumblebee caps for a high price because they sound "good".
The sound of the guitar you are listening to is the sound of a capacitor with degraded capacitance

I use MOSFETS, a good halfway house!

Yes an age old argument.

I have muso mates who can hear the tonal difference a certain capacitor makes so it's just whatever sounds good to your ears.

I've seen rooms full of direct cut vinyl and heard the difference fancy speaker cables can make to a hifi system. All a bit silly.
