Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?

@inna that is illogical.according to some State of The Art is SS it is the benchmark. 😎😂🥱

By the way, I heard that some do prefer vintage air-cooled Porsche. Besides being traditional it is much less safe and more difficult to drive fast than later Porsche. And that's why some prefer it. You do something stupid and you are gone. You really need to know how to drive.

solid state is the only reference!

tube amps

all leak DC and can’t handle many power swings or bass

@pennfootball71  how can a tube amp leak DC, when DC doesn't pass through an output transformer, which most tube amps have.

Its a known fact as soon as you power up tubes, especially in tube amps, they are wearing themselves out.  I don't need that kind of concern atttached to my system. I got more important things to worry about like room conditioning, cabling, speaker positioning and etc.  If i use tubes it will be in low level devices like preamps, phono preamp etc and I will do that. But I still like solid state preamps a great deal for certain music and I have a couple of them as well.
