Tube amps and a Stradivarius

Triodes are more linear than transistors, which can also make them sound more realistic than solid state.

My tube amps (mono blocks/preamp), CD player and TT are all located outside the listening room (hall closet with a solid door) and the speaker cables run to the listening room through tiny (< 1/4") holes in the speaker wall.

I've also had the tube mono blocks in the  listening room (seeing if short speaker cables made a difference).

In previous settings I've had tube amps in & out of the listening room though I've always tried to keep the TT and preamp/phono preamp isolated (closet or other room).

Never noticed added space/reverb with in room placement, but all my setups since 1976 have used smaller speakers played @ low/medium SPL's.

However, I've experienced slightly microphonic signal tubes in guitar amps that definitely alter the sound.

As long as they were not feeding a reverb tank I actually preferred the sound of them when used with lean sounding Fender amps and guitars using single coil pickups.

Do you have any articles to back this up, everyone would agree tube sound is more pleasent but any info looking at input and output through a tube as being more accurate than high quality transistors.

Here is an interesting article that kinda supports your view, but looking at input then output with quality transistors there is really no comparison. 

 

Try using transistors without feedback and see what happens.

"Also if you think tube amps are more accurate you are simply fooling yourself."

You have very strong opinions about tubes, considering that you seem to have ZERO stated knowledge on such.

Also, your OT premise is laughable, IMO.
