Ears like a mouse !
Valve amplifiers have no cross over distortion/transient inter modulation distortion. The lower the volume, the lower the distortion, benign kind.
Solid state: the lower the volume , the higher the distortions, and a very nasty kind.
You are one of the few who heard this, in the morning at low level, when the ears are fresh ! Congrat's. Another statement that you must not believe all the techtalk, advertisement etc. just believe your own ears.

'Valve amplifiers have no cross over distortion/transient inter modulation distortion'...wrong.
Of course you're right: in Class B but we do not use that in HiFi applications. And no heavy feedback either. Or no feedback at all.
My measuring instruments are my ears therefore I am allway's right.
Happy listening to your favorite music !
and ist is not only SS that can have crossover distorion..it is only confusing to the poor readers if you spread this kind of misinformation....
After high end hobby for more than 50 years I am not wrong.
What do you mean by "poor people", the non audiophile casual listener ? They don't visit Audio Asylum.
So, if you don't agree that quality aware people don't use: crappy Class B solidstate, crappy Class B opamps, valve amps in Class B or AB2 (for PA), loudness CD's and loudness vinyl then dream on.
In Class AB valveamps crossoverdistortion/TIM is virtually non existant, only when overdriving the amp and that is only done with guitar amps for the effect. Furthermore crossover from tube to tube goes gently when driven loud and is still benigne. SS amp's sound bad at low volume because there crossoverdistortion is greatest, something manufacturers never talk about and revieuwers ignore this because payola still exist.
I don't need measuring instruments, revieuws, comments like your's, fancy looking gear because I have ears like a bat. If something is spioling musical pleasure I hear immediately what's wrong, not in my home you know by now, but when visiting someone or listening in a shop, amplified concert or whatever.
