Let me also point out that I have no problem with tubes used in the production/recording of music where the coloration becomes part of the music. I compare it to a speaker building newbie that was asking me questions about materials to use. I couldn't convince him to make the enclosure out of MDF. He wanted walnut because he knew of people making instruments out of them and it had "good acoustical properties". I told him that is exactly why I wouldn't use it. So he made his walnut speakers, and surprise, he wasn't happy with them. Production and reproduction are completely seperate items.
