No, as I've said recently elsewhere, I'm heartily sick
of seeing the words 'valvelike' and 'analogue sound'
being applied to SS kit and digital music by silly *hip*
magazine writers.


Agreed, no reason to slander good SS kit and good
digital recordings that way.


Except to *tempt* people to buy it....??

In fact there's virtually no discussion of SS versus tubed audio gear
anyplace but a few esoteric circles. The days of comparsions between
tubed and SS passed along several decades ago, with SS winning
decisively.


Irrelevant.


Here's your challenge - find a significant (3% of the market) amount
of newly-produced media, or even media produced produced in the last
30 years, that didn't pass through at least one SS device.


No, that's *your* challenge and I choose to ignore it - I simply don't
care what equipment is used to produce the music I listen to, I only
know how I prefer to listen to it. I fully expect various combinations
of valve and SS, digital and analogue processes to come into it at some
stage, anyway - depending on what the music is, where and when is was
recorded and produced...
