If tubes are just a way of changing the tone and adding distortion , would rolling capacitors just be performing the same function? Now on one hand tube detractors say that tubes just introduce some pleasant form of distortion but present a sound which is not as close to reality as pure solid state gear. On the other hand it is easy to change the sound of solid state gear by just changing the caps. Do different caps have a different "sound"? Is this difference in sound quality introduced by a different kind or level of distortion or what? Why do so many find tube gear to sound more like live music and many solid state devices with superb measurements harsh and unreal?
