why does triod mode sound better than ultralinear?


I know this has been debated.... I just bought a CJ MV-60. It is factory set for ulta linear. It can be reconfigured for triod but it takes a mod. I'm just wondering why it *should* sound better... I would hate to give up 1/2 the power without understanding why.

Thanks

I posed a similar question to the folks at Rogue Audio concerning the set up of my Rogue Audio Magnum 88 amp. Here is the response I received, "with speakers that tend toward the bright side, the triode mode may sound smoother and more natural.For speakers that tend to be laid back, UL may give it a bit more dynamics and or punch. It depends on the characteristics of the speaker".
