I realize this may not be true in every case, but can anyone explain why tubes offer more tangible imaging? Are there any SS pre's that can compete with a good tubed unit in this regard?
Having tube equipment improves your image in audiophile circles. But about the sound...the loudspeaker is far and away the most important contributor to imaging, good and bad.
Atmasphere...Lower feedback in tube amps is usually because the darn thing becomes an oscilator if you increase it any more! (That's my experience). Also, are you forgetting the heavy feedback around the output transformer represented by the taps that are connected to output tube grids. (Of course this doesn't apply to triodes).
Atmasphere... I will stay on thread. I will stay on thread. I will stay on thread. I will stay on thread. I will stay on thread. I will stay on thread. etc...
