Couldn't agree more. I don't doubt tracers have a serious contribution to make, but sound is king.

Where do you think the "sound" comes from?
The shape of the output signal from a tube stage is dependent on the transfer function of the tube.
The shape of the output wave form is the spacing of the grid lines on the plate curves along the load line.
"sound is king"
The shape of the output signal IS the "sound".
Audio electronics isn't magic.
The audio that comes out of a tube stage is a function of the science of the tube involved.
A tube with shitty (uneven) spacing between the grid lines along the load line on the plate curves will give shitty (distorted) audio output. Period!
I get tired of all this BS talk of magic dust.
Before you go making proclamations about subjects that you clearly don't understand read a technical book and learn something for Pete's sake.

Also you have implored me to learn the physic of sound. I have a post graduate degree, but always ready to learn something.
Now how about you, don't you believe all of,us tube magic people. We like tubes because they bring something we call magic, to me it is greatly improved imaging amongst other things. It might do your soul well to find thatyour firmly empiric world view, can be enhanced by things unmeasurable.
"We like tubes because they bring something we call magic"
I like (triode) tubes because they are the most linear amplifying devices ever made. That helps to make the music that comes out of our speakers sound right (like magic).
".....can be enhanced by things unmeasurable"
There are certainly things in this world that are unmeasurable but the linearity (lack of harmonic distortion) of a tube is not one of them.
"I have a post graduate degree.."
In audio electronics?
