Ever own a tube amp?

Why? Because they have a way of dealing with an issue that plagues
television broadcast sound whether it is analog, digital, stereo, DD,
whatever. The sound from television stations varies hugely. It's
almost as variable as FM radio sound.
I assume this is part of the compression schemes they use, how they
implement them, their equipment, etc.
Tube amps seem to be able to render a more uniform sound from these
sources than do
solid state amps. Voices, in particular seem to be more natural,

videonovels...

That's because Tube amps are inferior & fail to accurately recreate the
recorded sound (including volume variance & crystal clarity).

especially with stations that
seem to do more compression (hence voices sound somewhat strident) than
others.
Even though you are likely to run the signal through a receiver or
preamp capable of producing
vast changes on it via equalization, etc, the power amplification seems
to have a noticeable
effect on it's own. The fact tube amps are "less accurate" than solid
states may play a part
in their ability to render broadcast sound from different sources more
lucidly.
Anyway, a friend of mine owns Brystons (solid state amps that I myself
used to own) and says tube amps are awful so this is all likely purely
personal on my part. But it's worth experimenting
if you run television through a home theatre set-up.
