tube amplifiers in general are expensive placebo. the music already contains all of the tubeyness you need, no need to further muddy up the signal.

I can't agree with you on this matter.

Well sorry for you then, but I totally agree with Burillo.
You asked for an opinion and got one (plus one = 2)

In our context (producing music) it's extremely important that what you hear in your headphones resembles the average listening space as much as possible. So tube distortion (even very subtle) is unwanted.

I think the fact that you've posted this, word for word, as your first ever post in various other forums indicates you probably have some connection to the company selling them.

Actually, I just wanted to ask...

If you're listening to old jazz records from the 30's and 40's, maybe you're recreating some of the sonic experience of those bygone days. Otherwise... I have to agree with everyone else. This is an expensive gimmick that has no bearing on music produced now. If the artist, producer, engineer, etc wants the qualities of tube amplification in their track, they will add it. If not, it doesn't belong there. Sorry.
