Nowadays, most people only need to wear headphones when listening to music. Those who are interested in music will buy a pair of better headphones. If they are more pursuing, they may get a power amplifier at home and drive it. speakers to enjoy music. As a non-music enthusiast, I accidentally learned today that there is a power amplifier called "tube amplifier".

Tube amplifiers were popular in the 1950s and 1960s, and of course today's enthusiasts. The reason why it is called tube amplifier is that the main audio amplification component of this kind of sound amplifier is an electronic tube, also called a vacuum tube. This tube can be described as "biliary" in Chinese. The English name of the tube amplifier is very straightforward, it is called Vacuum Tube Amplifier, and the literal translation is vacuum tube amplifier. The timbre has a gentle, thick, sweet and moving charm like a yellow rose, which is especially suitable for playing idyllic, soothing and elegant classical music and Chinese folk music. Later, due to the emergence of transistor power amplifiers, the power amplifiers using electronic tubes were gradually eliminated. We usually see crystal machine power amplifiers in audio stores, which is now called the power amplifier by default, also called stone machine. However, crystal amplifiers are not as good as electronic tubes in the performance of soft timbre in the eyes of golden ear enthusiasts, so there will be two groups of power amplifier enthusiasts, one is tube amplifiers, and the other is stone amplifiers. In addition to the difference in tone, the biggest problem with electronic tubes is that they are not small in size and consume electricity, while transistors can be made smaller and save electricity.
