Is toob a brand name? What sort of amps does toob make?

Someone should start a retro amplifier company and call it "Toob".
Really. Someone who loves vacuum tube amps, but doesn't suffer much
from audiophoolery.

Someone came out with a book a year or two ago, where he came up with
some different name for "tube", almost as if a new hip name would make
tubes trendy again.

Vacuum-mode field effect transistor?

I had a prof that referred to them as "GlassFETs".

A home for wayward electrons...

BTW, I am sitting with a hot laptop in my... well lap and the last thing
I would think is "cool" is a valve power amp. I do like the fake toob
idea with LEDs. Lol.
