Master

I hope not. Seems, on other audio forums, so many
are pushing average quality as ok. I tried to help
with a tip, and responders rejected even a tip.
Amazingly, some/many are against improving naturalness.

Vacuum tube amps are the only type that can be designed to
perfection (through specialized listening tests to verify).
SS, especially, have inherent flaws and/or restrictions.
