Solid State vs. Tubes - What if Transistors came first?


What do you guys think?

If transistors came first, and then decades later tubes were invented, would we have any tube amps we would call high end?

Wouldn’t they all fail to reach the height of performance and transparency set by transistor amps?

Best,

P.S. I love Conrad Johnson. I'm just wondering how  much of our arguments have to do with timing.

I occurs to me that because tubes require a vacuum to function, by design they must “suck” if they did not, they could not function:)
Two things are true. You can’t change the mind of a dead person. And you can’t change the mind of a dyed in the wool naysayer slash pseudo skeptic. 🤨
