I'm curious if any generalities can be made about SET power tubes and their fit with various types of music (classical, jazz, rock, electronica, etc). Granted, every amp design is different and tubes generally have somewhat different characteristics in different applications. But does one's music preferences also lead to a preference in tubes, or is it purely the tube character that drives preference?
