Topic: Comparison of Tube Amplifier and Transistor
Amplifier Sound
Have you been wondering what you've been missing with
your transistor amplifier? We will have a tube amplifier setup with loudspeakers
and will compare the sound with a transistor amp, both in the linear region
and when driven to overload. Test equipment will be displaying the measured
performance. This is similar to tests done at the New York HiFi show.

University, Cummington St is an east-west street just south of Commonwealth
Ave. It is one-way going west. Parking on both Commonwealth Av and Cummington
