As am I. I've had a few tube amps in the past, and still have a modified Dynamo ST70 somewhere, and I think that the Dev really gives me access to the nuances in the music (or in the recording or file). It's all the micro things; tiny, subtle changes in volume, tone, pitch, timing, that reveal how a singer changes the shape of their throat or mouth, or how a sax player slips air beside the mouthpiece, or how a string is plucked or fretted or bowed.
Crikey, what a sentence.... . I have not heard really expensive tube amps, but the McIntoshes I heard a few months ago were really unappealing, if that is any comparison. I don't know what they were, but there were two mono block power amps, each the size of a sea turtle.
