I prefer to listen to my music in the most realistic way possible. I like tube equipment for the novelty, especially when you come acroww the rare one that sounds as good as a solidstate amp. If you like the warm tube amp sound, that can be accomplished with a solid state amp and an EQ. If you don't know what i am talking about, you have no business posting this nonsense.
What kind of drugs were you on when you heard a transistor sound as good as a vacuum tube. Why arent you selling these drugs as "tube sound in a pill"? Granted the transistor is an awesome piece of technology(this message board wouldnt be here without them) and they have several advantages over tubes, but sound quality is NOT one of them.
Amps are not designed to sound like anything, just reproduce the music, when a tube amp adds a "warm" sound, it colors it, and therefore loses it accuracy. Like I said, there are tube amps that sound as good as solidstate, there aren't any that exceed it.
This argument is generally pointless, so I will leave it at that, but if you think that tubes have better SQ than solidstate, you are sadly mistaken. They may sound better to you, but in any sort of objective testing, they will fall short.
