Why do Tube Amps sound more romantic v SS amps

I have heard in an extremely expensive system, through £75 000 Speakers Soulution Amplification, and a Very Expensive 211 Valve Power Amp design.

Along with these in the same day od demonstrations I have been demonstrated DIY OTL Amps, a DIY SS Monoblock Amp which was Two Power Supplies and Two Output Modules and a Monoblock Design of a DIY Built Neurochrome Amp.

Each was able to impress in the system, some were noticeably different, but were able to present very well due to the Speakers matching very well.

From recollection for the Money and Performance on offer, the Neurochrome won the day, it was hard to suggest the Soulution Power Amp's were a better performance, using the limited time for each demo'.

I have been demonstrated a selection of DIY Built Neurochrome Amp's since, from the lowest powered model to the maximum powered model. These are extremely competent and have my full endorsement. I have even suggested they may become my retired years when I put the Valve Amp's in the System to bed for good.        

All depends on your taste and speakers.

Thank you all I think under these economic stresses & supply issues I will stick with SS amps. I am looking at a Parasound classic 2250 v2 vs Emotiva DR 2 anybody ever own either ? 

Thx you again. 

Keep rocking today alittle Joe Cocker & Leon Russell

I didn't have any interest in tube based amps, until I purchased an efficient pair of speakers. After researching various amps, I went with an 845 18W SET 'A' IA, and have throughly enjoyed listening to the music it conveys. I also replaced my SS DAC, with a tube based DAC. My knowledge of tube families and how they sound is shallow, I have swapped tubes in my DAC. 

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

Says you.

I like to listen to the gear sometimes. I like to focus on the sound not the music. 

If music was the only point, as you suggest, no one would be filling this forum about how things sound. But they do.
