The notion that tubes "add" something to the signal is NOT what good tube products offer; it is in fact the exact opposite: it is what they DON'T add (but solid state does) that makes them (some think) superior to ss. Greater low-level linearity, less odd-order harmonic distortion, greater depth of field, more lifelike reproduction of instrumental timbre and tonal "density", more 3-dimensional images, "soft" amplifier clipping, greater headroom, lack of "grain", higher resolution and transparency, etc.

Of course the above are crude generalizations: superior solid state beats mediocre tube. Tim de Paravicini offers both tube and solid state products in his EAR-Yoshino line of electronics, using whichever he feels better for a given job. He offers a great solid state RIAA phono amp, but most of his products employ tubes for amplification. The electronics in the analog recorder and condenser microphones Kav Alexander uses to create his Grammy Award winning recordings (Water Lily Records) were designed and built by Tim. Tim was also involved in the Pink Floyd Studio in London.
