No offence, and nothing personal. But I am a fan of 'true to the original' sound in my playback system. I want to hear what is on the CD: the good, the bad, and the ugly. Believing it is not rational to use the system as a mixing device for what I do not like in some recordings. Well, many recordings. OK, most recordings.
But once I do, its set, and can only changed by replacing some component, tweak, or wire (the industry loves it when I do $$$). And I then have no option to hear the magnificance of life like sonically superior recordings that can be very close to being there. Few though they be, there are enough, and certainly well worth the minning necessary to dig them out.
Tubes can make progress to that end, and if I could find a tube amp with low enough distortion to, and enough power to drive may upper/mid range drivers, I would be there.
Your characterization of my motive so missed the mark, you just embarrass yourself.
Be polite, even if you disagree.
