erik....squires - the tube revival started with William Zane Johnson, but also with the review of his SP-3 in The Abso!ute Sound, which also started publishing at that time.  It was TAS and its reviewers who re-discovered the pleasures of tubes and promoted the POV.  However, they also enjoyed and appreciated some solid state gear.  For example, the Audionics CC-2 was the first low TIM amplifier and the TAS staff loved it (and the BT-2) preamp because it lacked the "nasties" of some (much) of the solid state gear at the time.  Since then, both technologies have matured toward neutrality, so whichever way you prefer to go it is less likely to be "wrong" than in the past.

He never mentioned about four times.
