Depth

Do tubes add this sense of depth, or allow it through unmolested? Nothing personal to you, of course, but I find it curious that a sonic presentation that sounds more real (perception of depth) should be considered inconvenient somehow, or the effect of a mistake (microphony).

Maybe tubes are better transcriptors of sonic fields than other amplifying devices, owing to their relative simplicity. Or not. But I'm on the side of the debate that resists the notion that because it is 'old tech', for that reason it is 'bad tech'. Books are old tech, but work very well for the purpose for which they were designed!

This is distinct from the ringing effects in digital, which seems to add a kind of 'false reverberation' or smearing effect on signals.
