Describe ube sound vs solid state

Electroslacker, I do not know if you would want to buy the Mullard 10 military 12ax7 nos tube, it's rare and known as the very best money can buy, the going rate is $500.00!, and the 12au7 10m nos I believe is around $250.00!, very musical,warm, incredible resolution, great bass,said to last 10,000 hrs

My experience has been that tubes are just more musical and pleasing to listen to. I have owned a lot of both. My Exemplar Exception integrated contains the best of both. Pre-section with tubes and the amp section SS. Simply stunning. However, if I had to pick one and live with it I would go TUBE AUDIO.

Electroslacker, tell me more about the Gold lion reissue's, that could be a cheaper alternative for me to want to listen to, and keep for good back up tube's, the mullard 10m tube's are very exspensive and hard to find, although that is what I have plan's to use in my cd-player.

Audiolabyrinth, once again, I find your posts confusing. Are you currently using Mullard 10M tubes or not?

You claim they are 'musical bliss', and that they are the 'best money can buy', then you mention that those are the tubes that you "plan" to use.
Are you claiming they are the best (we all know that there is no best) from personal experience, or from what you have read on the internet?

Remember, just as with all things in audio, there are no absolutes, no "best".
Folks have their own personal favorites, just as they have their favorite music.
However, just as no one song can be dubbed the "best", no one tube can be labeled the "best" either.

you are correct John, their is no best tube, these just get most votes as most liked, that's it, there you go, cheers.
