I don't think the Sig 30 sounds "like" a tube amp in the way you're assuming, if I had to describe it to you I'd say it offers a lot of the advantages of a nice (read: painfully expensive) single-ended triode tube amp, without the drawbacks... meaning it's a solidstate amp that a even tube-lover can love. In terms of sound, the Sig 30 gives you the holographic sound stage, harmonic texture, and, to some degree, the "warmth" you'd expect from the SET amp without giving up the bass authority, speed, detail, resolution and clarity that you're looking for. It's a contender, and certainly worth considering.

But i don't want to fall asleep, i want to be engaged in the music, listen to all the details music has to offer, etc. If i am wrong with my description, please correct me. ps: i know about Red Wine's 30 days money back policy, but i am not from the US... |
