"Furthermore, your stance on tube processing is anachronistic and really somewhat pathetic for one so loudly prominent in their advocacy of digital media."
williak - a pox on you as I now feel duty bound to agree with Teresa which is something I try to avoid at all cost. :0)
Valves used in poorly designed equipment can give the cliched rose-tinted, over warm, coloured sound we've all experienced, just as porly designed SS equipment can give the cliched bright, hard, over analytical sound which again, we've all experienced.
Correctly implemented, valves are capable of resolution beyond that of SS in my experience because they allow for a simpler circuit, and some of the finest recordings available today were made many moons ago using valve equipment.
Look elsewhere on this forum for the link to the discussion between various recording professionals which includes mention of a recording regarded as an audiophile reference classic, recorded using a ribbon mic feeding two E.A.R valve amps.
Far too easy to assume anyone with valve amps has been seduced with a euphonic colouration.
