I now have SS and valve amps and I prefer the way valve amps deal with
the music. There's the sound (the physical amplification) which quite
surprised me - not 'lush', limited (in loudness and dynacism) or
distorted as I'd been led to believe. The main asset is the sense of
depth they manage to relay, while losing very little in terms of detail.
I don't think this phenomenon measures - you'd just have to listen.

It does measure - it's reverberation due to valve microphonics.
