I'm looking to buy my first amp and am looking at basic tube amps like the Little Dot Mk IV. I have never heard one and have no intuition about them.
Does a tube amp sound much better than (or much different from) a regular solid-state amp (like the Headroom Micro amp)?
Are the tubes in any way dangerous? I can only guess they are like light bulbs. Do they get hot? Do they ever explode? How often do I have to change them, and are replacement tubes readily available somewhere?
Thanks.
