  1. Best video explaining the vacuum tube.

  3. You're comparing apples with oranges. Your microprocessor transistors are only used as fast switches, they're most suitable for digital data and a digitized world of data. The beauty of vacuum tube is their full analog capability. Thus instead of millions of semiconductor integrated transistors to encode and decode audio only a hand full of vacuum tubes is needed. And the tube audio sound is still warmer more natural to the ear than digital audio. To this days many audiophiles recognize that. It's just that with the production of tube having gone to next to none, it is no longer commercially possible to design vacuum tube audio systems. Yet the modern integrated transistor is not superior in all regards.

  4.  @StephenJamieson  No, that is not the proper difference to notice. It was a fully analog device with infinite continuous states, while computers uses transistor in only two states for binary coding.
