I've also built a few tube amps and listened to a fair number of valve & tranny amps, though not 100s. Sure their foibles are different, with neither being perfect. My experience fwiw is I've never found any tranny amp that has the sound quality of a Quad II or a Sansui 500A. I used to be more involved in audio, not much now.

**I Would sincerely hope that no reputable amplifier manufacturer (tube
or SS) would try to build an amp that sounds as bad as either. Both have
serious measurable and audible flaws.

One of the motors from the eBay choppers fixed it, hurrah.
 
I bought four more for use as actual optical choppers for
proof-of-concept instruments.
