If that's your belief, then you believe in magic. A tube is a gain
element, nothing more, nothing less.

Let's not go there. Perhaps if I backpeddle a little:
Tubes are frequently incorporated into equipment said to have a
characteristic sound that is felt by many people to be desirable. I agree
that equipment has been constructed that has all of the "preferences"
associated with tubes, without the principle drawback, which is greater
noise.

With that out of the way, would you be so kind as to address my question?
