Does tube amp consume a lot more power than solid state amp?
i am a vintage audio guy, but i am not an engineer, i am curious how much in terms of power consumption comparing tube amp vs solid state amp.
thanks,
yes, i can't get back to solid state since introduced to tube.
fisher x-100-c + jensen TF-3, EV-4
BobB - maybe i am one of those 1%
Tube Amps use more power, and throw off more heat too, but it's all worth it.
Have you ever seen Solid State Amp with a volume control that could go to 11?
