From a purely ignorant, audio file perspective, Westinghouse, vacuum tubes are highly sought after and much more value than anything Tesla ever produced!

You think that vacuum tubes are more valuable than alternating current - i.e. the thing that provides electricity to every home and business in the world?

I don't agree with what the original commenter is saying. But if you are arguing that Tesla invented AC, you should read the article above. Edited: a typo

Fair enough, though I think you might have trouble achieving high quality music reproduction without electricity :)

Edit: so it seems that AC was also Westinghouse, ignore me :)

The triode is much more of a Lee de Forrest thing - the Audion.

Whether a tube is Westinghouse, RCA, Telefunken is a matter of manufacturing. Tubes are sought after because they're "cool" , not because they are, strictly speaking, necessary any longer in most domains.
