Sweet Sound of Tubes
Put a bunch of engineers in a room with their testing equipment add both Tubed Audio and Solid-State Audio and let them test. The results will not suprise anyone but they are missing the point.
Listening to music is a "Subjective" experience, it is all about what sounds good to you. When sitting and listening to your favorite piece of music the only thing that matters is the emotional response your get from the sound coming out of your audio equipment, nothing else.
So for now lets put away the charts and graphs and listen to the sweet sound of music from Audio Tubes and all agree it's about the sound.

The audio amplifier is at the heart of audio design. Its performance determines largely the performance of any audio system. John Linsley Hood is widely regarded as the finest audio designer around, and pioneered design in the post-valve era. His mastery of audio technology extends from valves to the latest techniques. This is John Linsley Hood's greatest work yet, describing the milestones that have marked the development of audio amplifiers since the earliest days to the latest systems.

Nice lens, your suppler list had a few I didn't know about. The books you have posted looks helpful. I plan on building a pair of tubed mono blocks some day!

Being myself means sometimes I walk with the group and sometimes I don't. But either way, I pay attention to the moment and not the roar of crowd....
