why does triod mode sound better than ultralinear?


I know this has been debated.... I just bought a CJ MV-60. It is factory set for ulta linear. It can be reconfigured for triod but it takes a mod. I'm just wondering why it *should* sound better... I would hate to give up 1/2 the power without understanding why.

Thanks

Not that simple a question - a lot depends on the speaker you are using as well as your listening preferences. Most generally speaking i think most feel that ultralinear is a bit less delicate, for example as ss is to tube, ultra linear would be to triode. Why don't you post your speakers and your preferences - perhaps someone has the same and can comment.
