LOL, Usblues!!
I remember the dialog from Star Wars where Darth Vader has brought Luke Skywalker in front of the Darth Vader's Master. From the port hole Luke sees his rebellion force being decimated & the Master senses this & says
"resistance is futile, my son. Let the Dark side of the Force prevail within you."

Only here, it (tubes, i.e.) is the 'bright' side of the Force.

Anyway, mix & match your ss & tubes OR stay all in one or the other domain. Whatever makes you happy.
BUT..............never neglect AC power, isolation, vibration damping, room acoustics. You could but at your own 'peril'.
