tube watts vs solid state watts

I think tube amps have 3 to 6db more headroom then ss amps at any given pwoer rating before serious levels of distortion become evident.

hi,

"The "paper" by Russel Hamm appears to be a presentation at a session of the AES nearly 13 years ago. Such presentations typically are not peer reviewed."

I don't think you know that for a fact. I've presented papers before various orginizations and they were all peer reviewed before I was allowed to present them.

Sounds like Alpha 03 is in the SS camp.
