Gentlemen,
I came across this comment in a YT video on thermionic valve (toob) audio amplifiers and would be interested to hear your entirely subjective (and indeed objective!) views on this recondite matter...
"Personally I am a tube fan for the audio qualities that only a tube amp can produce. Is it as accurate as a solid state amp? No way. Not even close, but it is the way the even order harmonics resonate with the human ear that is so pleasing. Even a crappy mp3 over compressed audio is passable when played with a tube amp. It's the old technology that just won't die, and I am sure 25 years from now people will be still hanging on to the past with tube amps. As long as there are fools with money to burn, both buying the amps, and then paying for all the electricity they suck back to run them, people will still make them."
Any merit in the above observations?
