Wrong emphasis, IMO. Try: I prefer vinyl because I **think** it's *better*
and I prefer/use valves because I **think** they are *better*. Easy, eh?

Then look up the meaning of "euphonic distortion" ... (and weep?)
Of course, one is still entitled to one's *preference*, and its enjoyment!

It seems to me that this issue of the definition of "better" as in
personally more pleasing, vs "better" as in a closer, or more accurate,
reproduction of the original signal, is what most of the noise is about ...

Just my antipodean 2c worth ... much less at your exchange rate! :-)
