Why do tubed preamps image better than SS?

Search the archives. This has been asked many times....
Cheers, Spencer

Tube pre's image better because of the dimension and presence they can offer that solid state has not been able to duplicate except for a handfull like Lamm (yes it is solid state-there is no tubes in the linestage) and Ayre k1x. These two image as well if not better than any tube preamp made at any price. But in general tubes do image better than solid state.

Having tube equipment improves your image in audiophile circles. But about the sound...the loudspeaker is far and away the most important contributor to imaging, good and bad.
