Tubes vs Solid State

I'm not going to get technical with this but: If you ever read a ad for a ss amp that says it has the warmth of a tube amp, then that should tell you what tubes can do. I believe the only thing that will make a difference is the cost over time for tube maintance.(rolling, etc)Power over sonics is a tricky thing.

If you like listening to a CD or LP from beginning to end, go with tubes. If you like listening to certain parts of songs and go through your entire media collection, go with Solid State.

Neither is good. I use the other type of AMP. Much better than tubes or SS

I do not know of any amps ever that have been made of Stainless Steel.

Well I use tubes on top and S/S on the bottom.the reason is obvious tubes sound better for vocals and mids and highs but lack in bass and the solid state stuff is where it excels in.
