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

Gs5556: That was a very good basic description, and answered my question. Thank you.

Can someone give us the basic circuit design differences and theory behind ultra-linear and triode? I have heard the two and it is clearly a trade off, but what I do not know is the circuit operation and how it directly affects what I am hearing. (clearly tube amplification is not my area of expertise--but I do enjoy dabbling in tubes).
