Vacuum tube amplifier for computer speakers will it sound like tubes?
So, the obvious answer initially would be yes, of course it will sound like tubes because it is using tubes as a pre-amp and amplifier. My question however is, will it actually have that 'fat' tube quality to it if its source is something digital. The computer does not work in analog nor do the JFET's in the audio card have the same tonal response as valves. So would a digital source being amplified by tubes be worth the effort?
In an amp chain the distortions(or lets say 90%) are in the final stage of the amp and since the valves have a much linear characteristic then the semiconductors the answer is yes,a tube amp will sound better then a solid state one even if the source signal is a PC!!!!
