"These go to 11"
So a random thought here. For some people the holy grail of hi-fi tone is found in the use of tube gear. This also holds true for the vast majority of guitar players. However, in the last 15 plus years digital modeling in the guitar amp industry, that seeks to replicate vintage tube tones in a solid state amp, has become very sophisticated and widely used.
So my question is this; has this technology been used in the creation of any of todays modern hi-fi gear?
If not, I believe Yamaha would be the perfect company to experiment with this in their new hi-fi equipment. As we all know, Yamaha has been producing digital modeling guitar amps and solid state hi-fi gear for a very long time; wouldn't it make sense for these two areas of design to come together? Yamaha even partnered with Soldano in the 90's to create a line of tube guitar amps (which was short lived).
Any thoughts on this idea? Is this feasable; is it not? Why?
Thanks,
Joe
