Judit and Subaruguru are right about how adding odd level harmonics can increase apparent detail in the music signal. There's a whole category of pro outboard effect units call enhancers that utilize this fact. When not used judiciously they add a real grittiness to the sound.
From tubes to solid state. What do you loose...
...if your priories are transparency, timbral acuracy, micro dynamics and soundstage? I am hesitant to give-up on my Sonic Frontiers Power 2, but buying tubes every so often can be quite expensive. The current tubes offered (Sovtek, Svetlana, EH) are short-lived and not cheap either. I will probably stay with tube pre-amp and go with the ss amps, like Mark Levinson...?
