Tubes vs Solid State - Imaging, Soundstaging, 3D

I have limited experience with tubes having had a couple tube amps with Gold Lion KT88s and EL34s. The majority of amps I have owned have been solid state. In my experience, SS always seems to image more sharply and offer the deepest, clearest field.

Is this common?

Empathy is a good thing. The world needs more, not less. Donations are often free as well, an extra bonus!

I only have one question...Wolf, when you show the chicks your tubes, do they get all giggly?

... It will get better over time and remember it wouldn't hurt so much if there hadn't been so much love.
IMO this is one of the best single sentences I can recall ever reading on the Internet. Thanks, Michael. It's helpful to me as well, as my mother passed away a few months ago.

Best regards,
