It looks like a debate to me.

I'm more interested in hearing the viewpoints of people that have earned stripes in the audio industry rather than faceless hobbyists. Am I alone in this?

Tube or not to tube, is that the question?

Yes and no.. I like both, I like tubes in the mids (only) , I like SS bass and above 12k.  I like tubes from 100hz-12k. 

Faceless hobbyists

“Tube or not to tube, is that the question?”

Not one to niggle but shouldn’t that be tube or not tube? 😳

It should be "tubey or not tubey."

Actually that was not the question.

Actually that was not the question. 

What is the question? ACTUALLY? Yea after another Agonner let me know my input was not what he asked for, I kindly replied "THEN ASK THE RIGHT QUESTION".  My answer had to ANSWER someones question....RIGHT? Even if it was about the planet Venus. Man oh man people are so picky....or PRICKY! is that a word?

Geeezzzz think I'll take up drinkin' might get along with folks easier HERE!!! Tough crowd...

Regards, maybe...
