When the correct transfer function is employed, the scientifc results are the same. Now, taking this 1 step further, and for normal audio bandwidths, there is no reason that recordings, when played back through a digital filter, and again to analog, could also replicate any tube characteristic. Your ears may vary....... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net Yes, Clive, VALVES always sounded better and they still do today....Just like film. Take care, Mike
