WARNING - limited knowledge alert
I know tubes are supposed to sound great (and the tubed stuff I've heard does), but the differences are reasonably subtle. THe acoustics inside a car are known to be really crappy. Wouldnt tubes in a car be subject to so much vibration that it would totally override any sonic advantage of the tube inthe first place? Wouldnt the vibration also put a fair bit of undue stress on the tubes themselves?
Just wondering...
