Tube or solid state

10 tube Audio-GD pre and GaN 400 Amp...nice combo for powerful sound w/ any speaker.....also use the pre going into a 2.8 watt Decware Zen triode integrated ( use the Decware as an Amp Only) for finesse sound of pure musical enjoyment with high efficient speakers. Enjoy Both. Good luck to you.

I have tube preamp McIntosh C2600 into McIntosh MC611 ss mono blocks. I love the sound. 

Depends on your personal preferences of music choice. By my opinion tube amps couldn’t handle high dynamics of some genres. Metallicas Hardwired Album could be used as a tester. Try to listen to it on tube amp and compare to SS and you’ll understand what I’m talking about. 

Both tube and solid state audio components have their benefits. My tube gear is euphonic sounding, whereas my solid state gear tends to be more analytical.

Hybrid components can offer the best of both worlds. It all depends on what type of other components you’re using in your audio system. In particular, what speakers you have.
