M900U vs the world

@naseltzer well said ! Exactly. I think a lot of people are chasing a more 'tubey' sound but without having to worry about tube life or tube nervosa and I wondered if luxman had some of those qualities. I know its unlikely any SS amp will truly sound like a truly tubey amp but maybe it can push far enough into that domain to satisfy ?

How close is m900u to any tube amp sound?  Which tube amps (if any) does it sound the most like?  These would be good to know.

Pass Labs XA60.8 or even X260.8 in this price range. And use a tube preamp. 

The OP has sent me numerous messages regarding gear that I have posted or spoken of asking me about, "shootouts", "VS", or "comparisons" ad nauseam! I have been polite in reply and entertained each of them accordingly. For all I know he doesn't even have any gear, as his posts are either parroting something someone else stated, or worse, asking for another shootout for gear he is unlikely to even purchase. Now who is the annoyer here?!
