I've never heard the SS version but if you like ss all the way, I don't think you can go wrong. I'm one who likes to use ss amps and tube pre amps. Although I'm going to try pretty much all tubes now with the c500t and mc2301's which are mostly tube mono's but do have a bit of ss in them just to get the power up. Again, I don't think you can go wrong on the c1000 purchase, everything I've read indicates it is world class.
