Which SS amps sound like a tube amp?

Bel Canto EVOs. Has replaced tubes in my Apogee system. No heat. More power. More speed. Better dynamics. Etc. Think tubes evolved generations beyond SS.

Electrocompaniet definitely airs toward the tube sound, it is not lush necessarily, just on the warm side & eliminates a lot of the electronic haze. It can do justice to most any type of music & very detailed at the same time.

The McIntosh 162, 352, 602 sound likes tubes in some respect, i.e., they get the tonality right, and the pureness of the instruments, but ultimately, only a tube amp will give you the recording hall's ambience as well, while keeping you involved in the music.

Mcintosh mc352, mc602 I don`t know what the new mc402 sound`s like maybe that`s what I could do this week go listen to it. David

Over on AC, there is one person using all AVA tube hybrid electronics on his RM40's who states he is is audio nirvana. While not tubey sounding, you can roll the tubes to suit your taste. Just my 2 cents. BTW, I own an AVA Transcendence 7 preamp, have just ordered the new AVA Fet Valve 550EXR power amp, and hope to purchase RM40's early next year.
