I think you should listen to world class amps if you want to hear what is possible. Not knocking Luxman, but it’s not in the same league as this amp, or Nagra/Kondo Japan/etc.The new old Luxman amps I have do a very convincing job of not sounding SS like. More so than any SS amps I have tried. And better than any valve amps I have tried to boot.
Just saying.
