Hi Dave: Normally I would stand behind you, but not on this topic.... If I could fit a tube amp in my DeLorean I would have. I was seriously considering a tube amp for my DeLorean, except there is no room for a good place in mounting the many tube amps that are sold, so I got a transistor unit from Sinfoni. Their transistorize sound is excellent, par none, besides many of their units fits perfectly in our cars and they take up very little space because of the thickness of 1 5/8" or 40mm thick. Very thin and thin as they come as my decision in to my purchase... http://www.sinfoni.com The tube amps' disadvantages are the cooling factor and their placement. The tube generates heat that needs to aired away from the unit as and their larger size is difficult to mount as to hide it, especially in the interior of the DeLorean. As far as tube equipments, their sound is always better, but many people will not appreciate the differences between the two technology. Personally I will always used a tube audio equipment over a transistor unit anytime, unless for the mounting requirement or for the high current output which the transistor can only provide.... For some you who may like tube equipment in your cars, check these units: http://www.milbert.com/ http://www.uncrate.com/men/gear/car-audio-video/panasonic-cqtx5500d- vacuum-tube-car-stereo/ http://www.audiojunkies.com/blog/463/new-digital-designs-car-audio- tube-amplifier Dave, no hards feelings? I still luv ya.... Kayo Ong #5508 Lic 9D NY On May 11, 2008, at 11:11 AM, David Teitelbaum wrote: > Or their transistor radio for > a tube type. Technology marches on.
