Tube Amplifier Vs Transistor at Michael Bigby blog

Tube Amplifier Vs Transistor. A tube has virtually infinite input impedance because the grid is virtually an open circuit. Tube amps are also called valve amps because they use vacuum tubes (aka valves) to amplify the sound. In most cases, amps with tube preamps and power amps have the upper hand when it comes to tone. The tube amp works in a high voltage, significantly higher than those found in transistor amps. For the most part, they were lighter and cheaper. The main difference between a tube amp and a transistor amp is the type of technology used. A diode bridge rectifier is solid state, while full wave tube rectifiers are tube. These are two things we do not want. The first tube amp came around before the transistor. Transistor, or solid state, amps came about in the ’60s and really took off in the ’70s. Read our full guide to tube vs solid state preamps here. Transistors can switch and amplify electronic signals, providing a more linear and precise amplification. Perhaps the single biggest difference between transistors (both bjt and fet) and tubes is the voltage they operate at. Tubes tend to run hot. The triode has a low.

These are two things we do not want. Transistor, or solid state, amps came about in the ’60s and really took off in the ’70s. Tubes tend to run hot. So, there are the objective differences between transistor and tube amplifiers. Since they run on voltages, they cannot power a speaker and that’s why tube amps mostly come with three huge objects that are located behind the amp.
