Why do tube amps often subjectively sound more powerful than SS ?
In my case, VAC Avatar SE integrated 60 watt/ch in ultralinear mode feels like double the power at least. Same speakers, same source, same cables and power cords.
I swap in a 250watt/ch ss amp with my 45watt/ch tube mono blocks. I leave the volume control on the preamp at exactly the same setting for both amps, as the volume in the room from the speakers is identical.
