Love my Tube Integrated:  X200. Listen to SS while working. Each has its nuances and qualities. Tubes are more soulful to me.  Like my tubed guitar amplifiers. 

No mistaking the sound of a V8 car, V-Twin or V Four motorcycle, Radial engine aircraft, tube amplifier, all sound so sweet!

ASR Cult follower? 

Source material played through tubed Vox, Marshall, and Gibson amps, vocals picked up through tubed microphones. 

Sure. 

 

Distortion and visual effect.

for me the closer I get to the source material the better. Low distortion = clarity.

Age old argument.

Tube or SS?  Who cares listen to the music not the gear.

Harley or Honda? Who cares just ride.

Ohio State or Michigan? GO BLUE!!!

@aseaman007 -- I have just read through your original question and most of the response post and have this question for you.  What if any audio equipment do you have now and about how much money do you plan to spend?  Because, really good tube equipment tends to cost many thousands of dollars, whereas really good SS equipment can be had for a lost less.  Just thought that I would ask, to see how serious you were.
