More tube sources to check out - thanks.
 
As to audible differences. Of the four of us in the family 2 can clearly 
hear the differnce between SS and tube amps (and even SS amps of different 
manufacture). Two cannot.
 
Two of us are tin-eared, two are not. Two prefer to listen to music, two 
perfer to watch movies. The grouping's are consistent.
