The tube amp does have more distortion (i.e., the output is more 
different from the input than in the solid state amp).  Some audio 
people find that this particular distortion is pleasing.  I have a 
professional audio editing program which has numerous selectable 
effects, including one that introduces the characteristic distortion of 
tube-type amplifiers.

This isn't a moral question, it's just about what sounds better to 
someone's ear.
