No I'm not - both valve and ss are coloured because componants add various
colorations.

Utter bull****! Good SS amps amps all sound *exactly* the same as each
other - and exactly the same as the input signal.


Time for a new slogan methinks - I don't think anyone's listening to this
one any more.....

(Not surprising is it - SS = ZERO distortion......!!???)

Zero *audible* distortion in the case of any well-designed one,
certainly. Got any *evidence* to the contrary?

Rather a sweeping generalisation, I'm afraid.

My own experience is that I have made and tested amps where I, and others,
could not tell when some components were changed. OTOH I've made others
where people could. All this showed was that your statement may be valid on
some occasions, but not others.

Slainte,
