They tend to sound bloody lovely, isn't that good enough?

So why isn't every recording or broadcast made with valve equipment?

Because not all performers (or sound engineers) want their sound to be
'warmed up'.

Try 'cheapness', 'expediency', 'easiness', 'laziness' or 'profitability' -

Try 'the highest possible accuracy to what came down the mic cable'.

the use of 'non-valve' equipment has certainly got bugger all to do with
'sound quality'......

I think you have that the wrong way round................. :-)
