I do not know what common tube amps in u.s sound like, but heard in many occsion tube amps in japan. My general impression on tube amps is not so good, they usually have slow bass and have no dynamic contrast at all, flatenning dynamics, which is seems to intended to cater to pop music funs by the way of sotenning the sound of too harshely recorde CDs. If it is called midrange-magic, i reject that kind of magic. The only exception of this is my SET amp by audio note japan, which is quite differnt from common tube amps. I think there is nothing in comman with other common tube amp sound at all. My set amp have much in common with SS amp than a usualn tube amp sound. When I wrote "harsh, bright and fatiguing sound", i did not think it was so bad thing at all. Some CDs have harsh, bright and fatiguing sound from the birth that what's wrong with harsh sound at all? Rather than sofenning music harshness is much more desirable for me. The only way to get good sound is tto choose right music and CD to play. I also disagree recent trend of ss amps which are getting softer and softer that. at the extream, exemplified by Jeff Rowland's SS amp, it dose not make out a contra-bass and bass-drum at all. If you call it musicality i rejct that kind of musicality only cater to pop music lovers.
