MDF versus Baltic Birch?

Which is the most tubelike solid state amp around
Accuphase E202 integrated is quite nice. It has a speaker dumping switch 50, 5, 1(soft) which helps with speaker matching and taste. It was made between 1974-1979. Build like a tank. Mariusz

Cary vs. Melody Valve
What speakers are you using with Cary???Just curious. Mariusz 
Cary vs. Melody Valve
Depends on your system and personal preferences. The only Melody amps I've heard were 2a3 monos (and integrated) and my own M300b monos. The new line of Cary isn't my cup of tea but some older designs were pretty good. Mariusz
