Tubes and analog seem to be more ambient. This is euphoric and not necessarily accurate, a very old argument.This is all about that first watt, where low level detail resides. Its not about euphonic character, just more accurate- and since there is more low level detail, more ambience as well.
Are tubes really “warm”?
Time and again I read posts that claim/assume that tubes sound “warm.” I have not found this to be the case. Having owned many high quality tube amps and preamps, I find that tube electronics present more natural highs than many ss designs. But warm?? Not in my experience. Can someone explain what it is about the tube sound that many consider “warm?”
