Super marfa amplifurile. Suna de ti se zbarleste parul pe tine pana la a 7-a generatie incolo. :) Bravo Vio!

The pictures are great!

The old electronic tubes have no advantage over the semiconductors, just a certain preference!

Many professional guitar players, prefer tube amplifiers over transistor amplifiers because of the specific distortion produced by tube circuits. An electric guitar amplifier is designed to produce distortion rather than avoid distortion as is the case with audio-reproduction amplifiers; this is why an electric guitar sounds so much different than an acoustical guitar. The type of distortion produced by an amplifier is as much a matter of personal taste as it is technical measurement. Since rock music in particular was born with guitarists playing tube-amplifier equipment, there is a significant level of "tube appeal" inherent to the genre itself, and this appeal shows itself in the continuing demand for "tubed" guitar amplifiers among rock guitarists.
