Sorry, I think it is a bad analogy. Triodes continue to have more linear distortion spectra than most SS designs. You might find this article by Nelson Pass illuminating. As for the video comparison, I'll take a 50's 70mm Cinemascope film over a DVD any day for color saturation and lack of grain structure.
