I am of the impression that people who want "ultra-linear" tubes have no idea what feedback does.
Feedback is a taboo for tube fans.
As is common sense, sometimes.
Seems that they are made by nude virgins. People write that they are ultra-linear and introduce almost no harmonics.
What, so just like a transistor then....
Huh? BJTs are almost
purely exponential, that's about as nonlinear as you can get... much, much less linear than tubes... you have to linearize them with negative feedback. FETs are in between.
