Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?

Okay sure, I agree sort of. That is why I have 3 systems and prefer tubes and your post is your opinion. Also not a VW guy, prefer trucks, snowing here today enjoy.

Some of the musicians I listen to I heard live and as such can compare. Anything introduces some coloration. For me negative coloration is the worst, that's what SS does brilliantly. Besides, not all tube amps are created equal, and not all tubes are equal either.

@inna that is illogical.according to some State of The Art is SS it is the benchmark. 😎😂🥱

By the way, I heard that some do prefer vintage air-cooled Porsche. Besides being traditional it is much less safe and more difficult to drive fast than later Porsche. And that's why some prefer it. You do something stupid and you are gone. You really need to know how to drive.

solid state is the only reference!

tube amps

all leak DC and can’t handle many power swings or bass
