TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile???


I'm looking for input from tube amp lovers that have switched from tube to solid state amplifiers and not looked back.

What tube amp did you move on from?

What SS amp provided the same level of musicality, keeping you smiling for the long-haul?

Thanks.

I ordered 64 ft of the 16gauge Western electric black from the 70's. Will order the Belden soon. This will be fun to see if it can better my Audio Note 86 stand Lexus. Thanks Grannyring!
Thanks Grannyring. I just ordered 32' of the black WE cable and they only had 31' so I bought that and will make do. Also bought a pair of the IC's to try out. Love these prices! We'll see how it sounds in my system. 😎
So the tube amp lovers to ss thread ends up about wire? No offense Granny but why not start a thread about this wire at a buck 49 a foot? You've got me curious as well but I do believe that the thread has been officially hijacked.
Your contribution in your first post is excellent but how does wire come into play to the original question? In respect to the OP I think it needs to get back on topic, or at least a bit closer.
I was asked a question on one of my comments that's all. I gave an answer.
As an aside, I do not buy into the notion of "hijacking" here. Right and left turns are common and just fine with me. No crime here, just normal and acceptable meandering in these threads. All good.
No crime, plenty of turns, quite typical. Again, excellent post just that all subsequent posts since yours pertained to the wire, that all. YOU brought up the wire and its like having a conversation with someone about a topic and all of a sudden the subject is changed to something completely unrelated, certainly not unusual on this site. I get your excitement and think maybe you should start a thread. No foul no harm.
