The only tube-like solid-state device that works in the direction you are asking for, is the First Watt SIT amps and the Sony V-Fet. the V-Fets are not available in a ’pure’ device that maintains their qualities from input to output.
One CAN be built, but it requires a full design cycle based upon used V-fets being obtained. A totally custom full scale development, for used scarce items - with no future. So far.
There is no other device or design of any other solid state gear...which can do the same, but be ’solid state’. No matter what anyone else argues. They’d be horribly misinformed or unaware of what they speak of if they argue against this post.
The best sounding gain devices in the world are linear gain. The triode tube is linear gain and is TRULY a quantum device, to boot. the only linear gain solid state devices in the world, are the SIT, and the V-fet.
the rest, and I do mean ALL of it, no exceptions, no mincing of words no combination of parts or qualities or topology... every last stinking bit of it....is just non linear gain odd order harmonic distortion devices.
One gets used to it like walking around with permanent pain and a bit of a limp. We witness all other people doing the same, so we think it is the norm, the reality itself. Not.
The vast number of us, +99.99%, use non linear solid state device based audio and don’t understand the difference between our backsides and a hole in the ground ....when it comes to what is so special, right and true... about a linear gain solid state device. (or a linear gain tube)
We are ignorant, to almost the last person.
