Over time I have come to observation that dynamic contrast is one of the most important things to get right in audio reproduction, and I think that dynamic contrasts in audio begin and end with a proper base of silence. To make an analogy, I think that coloristic contrasts in video begin and end with a base of blackness and (to my eyes at least) the best old glass tube CRT TVs provide a different kind of "blackness" than modern flat screen TVs do. So, when I think that good tube gear provides "silent backdrops" that are different than those provided by more modern SS gear I am sometimes reminded of the way the best old glass tube CRT TVs rendered "blackness". And in reality, I still own - and love - a Sony XBR flatscreen CRT TV (how uncool of me!)!
