  1. When it comes to handling large amounts of power, a vacuum tube can't be beat. Semiconductors are just not as good, and most are not capable of more than a few hundred watts, each. The large amps, etc., in radio and TV broadcasting, still use steel bodied tubes, from manufacturers such as Eimac. I was in the radio and TV service business, at the tail end of the tube days, and enjoyed working on those sets. That was in the early 1980s.
