I've spent some time in rec.audio.tubes to try and establish what this is
all about.
It's quite clear that the 'toobies' believe that added colouration from
vacuum tubes
equals 'higher fidelity' ( because they like the sound ).


Fidelity? What's that? Do you somehow manage to *not* use speakers...??

I think you're confusing valvie's claims of greater realism and naturalness
with valves with so-called *measured* accuracy....???


What they are confusing this with is their preference for an intentionally
flawed but
entirely pleasnt and relatively benign form of distortion. Nothing wrong
with their
listening preference but the presentation of this as inherently superior
is utterly
bogus.


Another one who expects people to agree their preference is inherently
*inferior*....???

Have this one on me - a valve amp (SET in paticular) is *****e* for playing
MP3s when you're out jogging......
