Tube Amp Comparing the output of a tube amp to a solid state amp.?
A tube amp sounds louder then a solid state even though the amp is producing the same amount of gain (amplification). How would I compare the loudness of a tube amp to a solid state amp?

Radio shack sells a portable decibel meter. Click on the first source link I posted below.
Or you can download software and use it with an iPhone. Click on the second source link I posted below.
