Questions about tubes and gear that glows. FAQ

RE: Listening to music through tubes is like . . .

what a loaded question. I will take a stab. I prefer tubes because they provide a nice midrange that is fleshed out and rounded. Tubes also provide better decay on cymabls and stringed instruments. Solid state tends to truncate the decay of instruments. A quality i do not find very convincing musically. Of course the more money that you throw at a tube amplifier or solid state amplifier the shortcomings diminish. I have heard some very good solid state amplifiers. Unfortunately they are priced extremely high. I feel you get more bang for your buck with Tubes. Of course the bottom end will not have the control of solid state but i feel tubes capture the soul of music a little more. Just my .02 cents worth!
