I've heard all the arguments against tubes however I still think there is something to be said for that tube sound. I have an Absolute Integrated as a second system which uses a tube pre amp stage and I love it to bits.
Interestingly many years ago Devialet did consider building an ADH amp with tubes. This was possibly before their Phantom world domination ambitions took hold.

yeah, just enjoying Ben Harper. With tubes it's definitely not as detailed as the D, but still very enjoyable and 'positioned' in front of me.
Didn't know about Devialet's tube ambitions.
Maybe that's what is taking the streaming card so long, getting the bias just right on the tubes.
