This has basically descended into the new vs vintage argument you see all over the internet. One of my friends is a musician. He searches all over the state for vintage amps that use vacuum tubes. He likes the sound they produce. One of his friends has a brand new amp that has the ability to emulate(!) the sound of the old amps. My friend tries to explain to his friend that it's just not the same. But his friend just says he can't tell much of a difference and doesn't want to go to all the trouble anyway. My friend heaves a heavy sigh and moves on. As I believe I will from this thread. |

Just FYI, there's more tube amps in production now than there was in the 60s. Why? Because they *sound good*. All that Line6 (and the like) digital modelling claims to reproduce the character of several tube amps, but any player worth their salt knows they fall short. Serious players view that sort of thing as a toy that does 10,000 things but not one thing *well*. |

CRT v LCD I say whatever makes you happy do it! But, there's talk in here about when my CRT dies I'll do this or that. Well, I still have 2 27" CRT's, a JVC in my room and a Sharp in my cab and they're both from the 80's and still work fantastic! Maybe it's because they were both made in Japan I don't know but I bet they'll still be working when the LCD's being put in cabs now die as I have yet to see these last very many years unlike the old reliable CRT! I am going to be in the LED/LCD camp soon though as I'm planning on building a pinball machine and that's the only option for that from what I've seen! I still worry about longevity of these though. |

Just another thought. There is one other convincing reason to go CRT, and that is viewing angle. LCD/Flatscreen monitors often have small viewing angles, so you have to be sitting right in front of them. You can't see the image if you look at any other angle. This is much less of a problem with newer monitors, however, but you should still keep it in mind. |
