Now I have to ask (because you guys got me thinking):

How many people on this list, or that folks on this list know of, have ever designed a circuit using tubes, or know anything about tubes? It sounds like analog may not be taught much or well these days, let alone anything about tubes.

I've used them a couple times.  Very rarely though.

A MOSFET is approximately equivalent to a triode tube since both modulate the current flow with an applied voltage.

The big thing is that a tube is *not* approximately equivalent to a bipolar. Bipolar transistors modulate current flow with current flow.

I'd rather have MOSFET's than tubes.
