In Reply to: Why solid state sounding tubes? posted by DAVID on September 10, 2014 at 09:45:13:
I certainly don't want "solid state sounding" tubes either. Especially if it uses switching devices!
On the other hand, I do enjoy tube equipment that exhibits a host of other sonic advantages along with possessing a neutral character - which many tube components do not. I'm not a fan of the caramel color of "traditional" tube gear.
My 40+ years of experience, however, tells me there is far more to the difference between the sonics of tubes and solid state gear than merely tonal balance. Tubes with their simple circuits and little/no feedback and simple distortion spectra deliver a level of focus, dimensionality, and harmonic "rightness" that solid state typically does not.
I would agree, however, that as solid state gets better, the sound quality of best tube and SS gear converges.
