Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better?

When we dont like someone posts , we pass over it... We dont write what you just wrote because as you said: it is pathetic...

by the way the only one dominating this thread is Ralph the designer of Atmasphere with his expert opinion about S.S. design , tubes design, and class D design... Not the relatively ignorant me in these three design matters choices and trade-off ... 😊

You are now dominating this thread. Replying very often and often with a lot of words. After being away for so long, now the thread is flooded with your words. Well, maybe this makes people happy. Not me, but it’s a free forum, so go ahead and fill these threads with your words.

Tubes are better for those who leave price tags on their gear as subtle reminders of just how much was spent on said gear and then subsequently how much is spent on replacement "collector audiophile grade" tubes one must have.Only here at AG do you get serious questions and comments relevant to pure audiophile level attainment which can only be achieved past a certain undefined but pricey level of cost. I for instance would not consider a replacement tube if it was under 3g. That way I know I am getting the best.

+1 @elliottbnewcombjr. Also perhaps reliability, and the type of program material

I suggest Y'all listen to the Beatles song "We can work it out", just once.

@clearthinker 

I'm with you. This thread was clearly designed by the OP to be provocative trolling.
