The Verb of God
Posted on | May 30, 2008 |
A few years back I interviewed Kavi Alexander for a magazine article. The interview never got picked up, but it was (IMO) really interesting, so I published it on my Audio Recording Advice Web site. Here’s one of the things he said in the interview:
P.A.: A lot of people argue there is an intangible quality to tubes that can’t be replicated.
K.A.: There are people, and I myself have argued, that there is some intrinsic quality to tubes. I’ve always used the mystical analogy that a tube is like the microcosm of the universe, you know, electrons jumping through a vacuum…it’s like the Word of God…the Verb of God, the transcendental cosmic essence manifesting itself in the material realm. In the transistor it’s more like in the manifested material world…the electrons are flowing through solid matter.
Sound intriguing? Check out the full interview.
