Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

RE: You are missing the obvious

I really hate this derogatory usage of the word Euphonic. What exactly do you mean?

Because I have found that really good tube gear is clearer, more transparent, more natural with tone color shading (less "gray" sounding), better with dynamics and better with imaging and soundstaging. Even the best SS i have heard has residual graininess in the highs, grayed out tonal color, squashed dynamics (irrespective of the power) and generally a less lifelike sound as compared to live, unamplified music and the best reference recordings.

See, I have found that what other are calling accurate I find to have unnatural graininess and edge that one never hears in a live setting. Even listening to my ex play a strad in my living room and I sitting 3 meters away didn't create the unnatural artifacts I hear in nearly all SS gear.
