To get high S/N and low THD you need to add quite bit of dB of negative feedback to the circuit.
This reduces the second harmonic and increases IMD…leaving you with a harsh and sterile sound, stripped of harmonics.
So basically what I’m saying is you may need a poor measuring tube amp if you want harmonic richness without transistor distortion.
