I was very shocked to for the first time have something that I could not reliably tell apart from a level matched bypass. In the end - whatever the background and reasons, I still feel Valves sound better to me, for whatever reasons.
And as the job of my stereo is primarily to make me enjoy music, Valves win.... ;-)
