It is probably true that transistors always color (that means distort) the output slightly differently than tubes, but you and I with our ~60 year old ears won't hear it where *maybe* a 20 year old ...
Q: What is the difference between a hybrid amplifier and a tube amplifier? I have seen both advertised, and both seem to use tubes. Is there any difference? — B.P., Youngstown, Ohio A: Tube amplifiers ...
Millions of guitar player can’t be wrong. Well over 80% of guitar amplifiers new and existing still use vacuum tubes. Based on my experience, that could really be over 90%. Nevertheless, most guitar ...
SAN FRANCISCO &#151 Researchers from the Israel Institute of Technology have developed what the university claims is a “transistor in a test tube”, built via sequence-specific molecular lithography.
A vacuum tube, known as the first electronic device, is used to switch, amplify, or commutate electric signals. In the past, vacuum tubes functioned as a main part of a diverse range of electronic ...
The telephone company had problems with vacuum tubes, too, and hoped to find something else to use for switching telephone calls. The idea of somehow using semiconductors (solid materials such as ...
Most people associate vacuum tubes with a time when a single computer took up several rooms and "debugging" meant removing the insects stuck in the valves, but this technology may be in for a ...
They're not the first transistors created using carbon nanotubes (CNTs), but researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) claim their new carbon nanotube transistors are the first ...
Way back in the salad days of digital computing (the 1940s and '50s), computers were made of vacuum tubes -- big, hot, clunky devices that, when you got right down to it, were essentially glorified ...
