I am also using a BAT Rex, but with solid state amplifiers. People say you cannot get tube-like sound with solid state amps, but I beg to differ. Perhaps it is because of the overbuilt power supply on the Rex. The Rex adds the texture, depth, and note decay without overdoing it. The build quality is also a benchmark for tube equipment. I have not added aftermarket powercords yet, but I bet there will be much more clarity, transparency, and bass impact.
