Using tube gear is like using a distortion pedal in an electric guitar setup. They make tons of cool effects to choose from, and they’re all useful in creating music and new sounds. But they have zero relation to accurate reproduction of a source signal. Thinking otherwise is mental masturbation.
@dougeyjones Spoken like a true neophyte. Get out and listen to some good tube gear in a tube friendly system. Your portrayal couldn't be further from the truth.
I've got no dog in the fight when it comes to Class D, so I'm not going to bash something I have no experience with, nor do I care to have any experience with Class D. But don't paint with such a broad brush about a technology that is arguably for many the most engaging means of reproducing music. You don't like it? Fine. But let's keep things in perspective, shall we?
