The way to cut through the hype about tubes producing preferable audio (when not in overload--that case is quite seperable) is to perform double-blind listening experiments, where neither the experimenter nor the listeners know whether a tube amp or a solid state amp is being used to reproduce music.
If this is done with a statistically significant sized group, then the matter would be settled, except for superstition, which is *never* settled. ;-)

Where can you get a tube system capable of 5.1 surround sound and MP3 ipod compatibility? The music business has changed. CD and MP3 are the norm. Modern musicians cut CDs in their living room. If they're happy with the sound then whom am I to judge their performance? The golden ear group will always cling to tubes but they will eventually decline in number to be a very small niche like binaural enthusiasts are today. BTW binaural recordings sound great! Quite a novelty. They don't work for parties or the car though. That headphone requirement ruins it.
