"many valve amps struggle with the groove because they thenselves are phase inverting which basicly kills the grooves performance"

uktl, I think this is unlikely because about 50% of all records out there are recorded with inverted polarity anyway... only a polarity switch will allow you to hear these correctly (and not everyone can hear the differences between absolute polarity anyway - channels out of phase are a different matter of course)...

... and multitrack rock recordings may have some channels recorded with absolute and some channels with inverted polarity.

For these reasons, if there is a mismatch between the Evans and tube amps it probably has to do with impedance and gain issues rather than polarity.
