Uhm.  Sound "tube"?  Well your speech amp (which you might be bypassing), modulator and finals are all tube. 


I think this would be much better asked on the air while using the equipment.  8)

Sounds like too many layers of icing on a one-layer cake. :D  Put the $$ in the antenna or the receiver.

You are considering a purchase ???? Buy It !!! and connect to a REAL linear and away you go with HUGE audio. The line-up should be great.

Nobody's gonna hear the subtle difference on any HF band, given the noise, QRM, and substandard distortion performance of the AM detectors in most ham receivers.
