In sum: A tube amp will sound the same as a solid state amp when both are compared in linear opperation. Add a $.10 resistor to the output of the solid state amp and it will sound similar to the tube amp driven to non linear operation (wich is the only time you hear the 'tube sound')
Its a never ending argument LOL.
