I have gone from tubes to first rate solid state twice and both times came back to tubes because I lost interest (enthusiasm) in listening each time I went to solid state. The long term emotion and fatigue factors are the reasons.
eons ago I went from tubes to SS amp & will never go back. I did try it once a couple of years ago, which only reminded me of all the reasons why... Quality tube preamps though, that I could live with, but prefer not to. I'm glad that y'all like your tubes however & I have heard some great tube systems belonging to others; it's just not for me.
I have gone from solid state to hybrid (tubed pre amp with solid state amp integrated). Now I'm going back to solid state. I don't know enough about tubes, and I like the ease of use solid state offers. Plus, I want to be able to spend some really money on tubes instead of doing only mid fi. I may end up going back in a couple years.
