Just my non-scientific listening perspective. I don't necessarily like tube for warmth as said before transformers are better at that than tubes in my opinion. Tubes are for a more roundness of the sound. What I like abour high voltage tube gear is the movement or dimension (life) it adds to the sound that lower voltage equipment doesn't give. I would classify ARt preamps for instance as warm and colored but there is no dimension to the sound. This explanation may not make any sense to anyone other else it's just what I hear.
