A particularly strange rant.

Nevertheless, a great many users of tubes are inclined to distort them
to f*ck, because it sounds good.

Distorting a transistor or IC to f*uck sounds like a pile of ****e.


"Mesurements" are not always an indicator of what sounds good, you
should know that by now.

Might 'sound good' for an electric guitar. but if your objective is
'pure' sound, or sound modified only by what processes you have
consciously applied, then a tube/valve and (and possible associated
transformer) may also sound like ****e.
