I suppose it is up to the end user to decide which amplifier sounds best to him or her. But it seems you are saying that you realize that in reproducing the audio signal and amplifying it, the tube amplifier is introducing distortion - but you still like it? If so, that is fine, each person has different tastes and preferences. But, how would that disprove his test of all amplifiers sounding the same? Basically are you not saying that the SET amplifier would fail against a transistor based one, due to its high distortion? I realize that tube amplifiers are loved by many, but if its distortion is higher than a fet based amp, why use one if you are looking for the ultimate in audio REPRODUCTION? I would assume that the least amount of change to the original audio source would be wanted in HI FI.
