Tube Sound Question

@noromance 

so, when you switched to a tube power amp to go with your tube preamp... how much “tubier” did the sound get... or in other words is your sound now 30% preamp and 70% power amp... or some other ratio??

Actually, I started this thread out of curiosity and because I hadn't yet found this thread...which as it turns out, discusses the question in detail.

@ atmasphere
Somewhat of a side question...if it is 2nd order harmonics and less odd order harmonics that contribute to the sense of smoothness....what aspect of tubes...amp or preamp...is it that contributes to the increased sense of spaciousness?
