transtube vs real tube

I can't carry my computer, interface and studio monitors around with me, so I am stuck listening to most everything on my phone. If you are using a phone to watch comparison videos it doesn't work. Also, if you are using a computer without proper monitors it still doesn't work. Just sayin'. Go back to arguing about subjective subjects. Oh, solid state sucks.
 
Im using a Bose sound system (they know a thing or two about tone/sound/volume) to listen to all my "computer" crap -- so .... mmmm yeah....... phones suck

AND NO -- no tube amp is ever going to sound exactly the same as a ss amp or a digital or an analog or a computer software program ...... THERE ARE WAAAY to many variables
HELL no 2 Dumbles sound alike
2 Marshalls made the same month back in 1972 played back to back NOW arent GOING TO SOUND exactly the

Good point.

Question: What doesn’t sound like a Marshall Plexi?

Answer: Another Marshall Plexi.

Of course, I’m being somewhat facetious and tongue-in-cheek, but sometimes I think if the same level of scrutiny were applied to comparing two different tube amps of the same model as is applied to a digital model of an amp and its tube counterpart, we’d see tube amps failing A/B tests with other tube amps!
 
I used to have a Transtube Peavey. Theough good speakers it sounded remarkably good. Tube like? Didn't AB it so hard to say but sounded very good. Didn't feel like tubes.

The hybrid sorta idea starts to really blur the lines.
Marshall AVT uses a single preamp tube to give it more of that characteristic . But SS power section.
JMD is the opposite and sounds fantastic! Has a tube feel to the power onbviously.
The Jubilee always uses tubes in the audio path. It adds LED clip to the Lead channel amd while SS, they clip differently from other diodes which Marshall also uses. For decades I believed it was entirely a tube signal.
If it sounds great, it matters not how you achieve it.
