SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp

Perfect example of a person (OP) that wants a quick, simple and definitive answer. Of course when it comes to subjective pursuits this type of answer is impossible to give.

@hbarrel Part of the fun is making things more complicated than they actually are.

I think that part of the type of amp is making the system sound pleasing to the OP. Doesnt seem to be adding complication one bit. Although if you want an amp to sound tubed then buy a tube amp.

Sounds like you should give Pass Labs a try. 

That's what is good about being old and have tinnitus, all amps sound the same.
