tube amps add distortion whether or not the person wants it
Not necessarily. Modern premium components make it easy to produce tube

3 dB attenuation at 6 Hz and 70 kHz.

My local big box and book stores are selling LP vinyl records.
they aren't selling...because of their audio quality.
I imagine that LPs are purchased because of their UNIQUE audio quality.
Turns out I lied above. ONE of my local big box stores, Best Buy,
doesn't sell ANY LPs or CDs. And Target is winding down CD sales.

It's ironic that CDs are dying while a 100+ year old technology, analog
headphones, are still ubiquitous...
