Re: tube instantaneous power v. solid state

As big a tube aficianado that I am,Im not sure that holds true as far as electrical reality goes..Typically your SS amps today are regulated B+ and that helps maintain a constant supply to your output devices under most any transient conditions and therefore should maintain full and peak power most of the time as long as you dont go into saturation beyond rated spec.
Then again if your talking about a tube amp with regulation,it also maintains its power under most conditions and like the other posters said the distortion is more pleasing from a tube than a SS amp becuase of the type and small amounts of even order distortion tricks the mind into thinking the amp is playing much louder when in reality it probably isnt..The question you ask is subjective and it really depends on the amp class and power and conditions so its all realitive..
