Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?

I never heard of audiophiles whose reference system had transistor amplification. It is always tubes. But maybe there are exceptions.

When other audiophiles come over, they always take pictures and tell me they will report me to the hifi police

Yeah, all solid state. I had owned Conrad Johnson tube gear for a while. Pass Labs made me forget about tubes.
