I don't know what you've been listening to...

...but if the tube equipment you've heard sounded "fuzzy", I suspect there was something wrong with it, or more likely, the tubes needed replacement.

I have two tube preamps, and two sets of tube monoblocks, as well as a pretty good SS power amp, and it's the Tandberg 3016A that's wrapped up in the closet. In lesser company, I could have been quite happy with it, and the Tandberg I have replaced an Innersound ESL MKII that's generally pretty well respected. I just personally liked the sound of the Tandberg better.

Please don't misunderstand me - the SS amp sounds excellent. It's just not as lifelike as the VACs.
