In Reply to: RE: Is my rememberence of vintage tube amps nothing more than aged out parts and worn tubes posted by airtime on November 17, 2016 at 07:43:12
"The sound of a bloated bass in a nice warm way, a full out of proportion midrange and a treble that could be described as soft or even rolled off at the very top end (like above 15k or something)."
High quality tube amps in good condition absolutely do not sound like that. They beat the crap out of SS for clarity and nuance, and they are anything but bloated and rolled off.

And with modern materials for Caps and Rs, SR SS rectifiers, really high storage PSU's, they can be even better still.Then there's SS for delaying the HT / B+, and for CCS's.
One can even rethink a classic circuit, replace any high-gain small signal tubes with Low-gain high GM items -> lower the NFB in the circuit and come out with an even better sounding amp.
And, do it all without buying Chinese parts.

I think my VTA kind of got that point. I can't imagine much more sound improvement than what I already have now.
