Tubes are kind of like vinyl. It's become a niche market, but vinyl will probably be pressed after CDs have gone the way of the 8-track and Betamax.

There's also a small market for tubes in the high-end audio market. My tube amp and pre-amp are amazing things.

Something about that solid state bite, that sharp, piercing tonal quality that made me love playing guitar. I'm not deaf, but by god, by the time I put this thing down for good, I should be. Otherwise, I just wasn't playing enough.
