If you are saying anything that colors the sound should be shunned...then why does close to 98% of the professional guitarist use Tube amps to play their instruments rather than the solid state amps?
Ahh, but at what stage is the "tube" sound added with tube amp heads? Pre-mixing, pre-mastering... the sound of the guitar is shaped, mixed, mastered and put to disc. Once it's on the CD - you want the cleanest possible reproduction of what's on the CD. Thus, solid state electronics from there on. CDs aren't mixed "cold" so that a "warm" CD-P will bring them back up to room temperature - what's on the disc is what's meant to be heard.
