Well there's one studio that is booked up months in advance that uses
mainly valve gear.

You keep on introducing 'mainly' etc. Either valves are the be all and end
all, or they're not. If you simply accept that they are introducing a
wanted form of distortion, then you certainly don't need the whole chain
to be valve.

And, as Paul says, there are certainly a few studios
with the TL Audio desk.

The valve sound is extremely popular these days - I wouldn't be
surprised to find that most recently released records feature sounds
recorded with valves somewhere in the signal chain.

I'm not denying they have their uses for a particular sound. Just the idea
of an entire valve studio. It's nonsense.
