Indistinguishable is a mighty strong word. We haven't completely mastered digital audio and to think we have is foolish (I do DSP for digital audio for a living, I'm Chris from Airwindows)

Also, a tube has absolutely no latency.

> a tube has absolutely no latency

I think that's the primary key here. We can decently emulate a tube amp in software even (and that can improve indefinitely as our knowledge improves), but we'll never create drop-in circuit element emulators either in silicon or software without adding latency.
