How many of you like the sound of valves?

[Rubycon]

A lot of folks do like their warm sound BUT...

Is it proper to use them inline at the preamp level in final mastering?

 

[Parkre]

oh no, I like my coffee with my sugar

and I have a chrome bumper on my jeep.

I like them when adjusted to the proper clearance. There's nothing like the sussurus of a well tuned valve train.

 

[Mr N8]

I love it when they start to knock. It's my joy in life to pay to get my engine repaired.

No. Clams (bivalves) having sex thru my stethoscope, does not excite me.

 

[Platypus]

I like them in my guitar amp
