Do semiconductors inherently digitize the sound?

Abstract What’s interesting to note is the random quantization of the pulse bursts (in a vacuum tube operated in ‘cold cathode’ mode). Does crystalline lattice semiconductor, operating a lower voltage due to direct surface contact and coupling, suffer similar quantization bursts of current flow?  Guitar amplifier legend Howard Dumble spoke of the “crystalline lattice” having … Read more

Electron Movement through Solids – Energy Bands and Semiconductors

Possibly Howard Dumble was correct.   Materials vary greatly in their ability to conduct electron flow. A digitalization may take place that has bearing on sound quality and overall performance, fidelity and response. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYYWZhsgVPc   Electron movement through solids is a fundamental concept in condensed matter physics and semiconductor technology. In a solid material, such … Read more
