Vacuum tubes provide a natural form of compression that solid-state amplifiers simply cannot match. Their ability to handle overload gracefully and their inherent non-linearity make them a popular choice among musicians and audiophiles alike. While they may require more maintenance and be more expensive than solid-state amplifiers, the natural warmth and character they provide are well worth it for many people.
