Many important aspects of music reproduction seem to come naturally to tubed amplifiers. They generally have superb presentation of instrumental timbres, smooth and unfatiguing treble, and spectacular soundstaging. The hard, brittle, edgy midrange and treble of many solid-state amplifiers is contrasted with the purity of timbre and sense of ease conveyed by a good tubed amp. Music has a warmth, ease, and natural musicality when reproduced by many tubed designs. The soundstage has an expansive quality, with a sense of bloom around instrumental images

"Our sheer capacity for feeling got to be so unwieldy that we staggered under it, like Atlas with the weight of the world." I sigh, and the freshness of the air derails me.

Unloved and abandoned
I struggle in this hostile night.
My heart grows heavy, and grows bitter
