"Yeah, you gotta treat the circuit as if it is solid state."
This circuit IS solid state. The vacuum tube sits there beautifying the amp!
If you can hear any difference when changing rectifier tubes, that's placebo effect: you want to hear it.

I demoed the effect to a member of the Joelist, who was blown away when I yanked the rectifier out of a playing amp ( monoblock).
After his initial shock, he could hear differences between channels and favored the one with the tube. Now I can her differences between various rectifier tubes, both in manufacturer and types. The same sonic difference is translated into this hybrid configuration.
You can use "common" sense to say that there can be no difference. Practicality suggests otherwise. If you haven't tried it, then you really should not comment.

I have not tried Russian roulette either, or jumping from the roof of a building for that matter, but I still can comment how those activities are risky and most probably lethal.
The difference in resistance between the SS diode and the tube rectifier diode is so huge that the latter introduces no relevant change in the parallel resistance.
Being commercially involved in this scene does not authorize you to dictate who should or shouldn't comment on issues that are not common sense but hard physics.
I guess adrenaline addicts who play Russian roulette and perform similar stunts would similarly dismiss amy attempt to explain the dangers of their pastime. Just add the gun dealer who supplies them with weapons and you'll get exactly what I mean.
