[QUOTE="audioholic, post: 7339662, member: 549629"] The warmth a tube creates is even order harmonic distortion. Original tube amps were, of course, actually tube driven. Today's tube amps like the Butlers are a hybrid, using solid state circuitry to create the power to amplify the signal, while the tube is placed at the input stage to add that even order distortion, which is the tube's only contribution to the circuit. This method does add the 'warmth'. Although Ive heard both tube driven and hybrid amps, I cant split hairs enough to say I could tell one apart from the other in a blind test. [/QUOTE]
