so the tube amp freaks actually like latency?
do you know what time range this is in?
arent you talking about a modification in the attack rather?
filters delay some part of the frequency range, usually bass, but
since we perceive the attack from the treble rather, this is not
perceived like latency.

no need to measure, sound travels at 330m/s which gives you 3ms/m,
easily worse than the computer...

this is also due to slow development of the vibration in the horn, right?
different from latency.
I am writing an article to collect all those facts...
