IMO/IME when you go for synergy its one coloration counteracting another- not a good way to go if you really want neutrality. I recommend choosing equipment on its strengths, if that makes any sense.
The reason I use tubes is not so it sounds like it does! I use them because you can't tell what is in the preamp- nor would you care- its all about the music.
I would use transistors if I thought I could get this same quality but so far its not been happening for me.
