ss and the classic tube sound do not sound the same. if i prefer a certain coloration, i am confident that the sony doesn't have it.
i would be willing to do a test comparing the stock sony 5400 with the modded sony and bet that i would prefer the modded sony.
in life when making choices it is too time consuming to listen to all products.
there have been very few solid state prodducts i have heard that i would want to own. thus my confidence is that the sony would be bought and modded, without listening to the stock version.
kal would you take me up on my wager. i happen to prefer a tube flavor using nos tubes. what is the purpose in listening to the stock sony ?
i will be able to criticize its flaws but that is a waste of time. i can't think of anything that i would learn that is of great value.
back to the garlic situation. i did not say every food should have a garlic flavor, only broccoli.
nor did i say anything about recordings.
obviously a classic tube flavor is like a tone control. changing the tubes changes the sound. you can't change the sound on a stock sony unless you make some change to the player.
