EMP destroys the base/emitter and/or base/collector junctions of
transistors.

Tube equipment is immune.

Completely? Are you sure? (I'm not, that's why I ask and ponder). I'd think
that internal arcing would occur similar to the effect of putting it into a
microwave oven. However, at this point it's a moot point (except for the few
audiophiles that still use small tubes which would be the ones most at risk
I'd guess.

Now, we're on to a discussion topic. Pull up a chair and pour a glass of
brandy, let's talk.
