Is there a SS amp that can offer tube bliss?


I currently own a tube system and love the sound. But honestly I'm not sure if I have the proper disposition for this tube thing. I cannot stand the constant worry over tube wear, looking around for NOS tubes, and wondering if maybe...just maybe my system will sound better if I spend still more money on different tubes. I would love to find a SS amp that will give me what my tube gear does and rid me of the worry about maintenance and the discontent inherent in tube upgrading. I've heard the Clayton M100s are wonderful and offer a "tube" sound. Any other SS amps to replace tubes? Any advice is most welcome.
Thank you.

Dear Samwise: You, like the 95% of the people in this forum are tube lovers: I respect that, anyone have the right to live in the mistake for ever. Let me explain: all tube electronics are the more expensive equalizers that you can find ( a bad one ): when a signal goes through a tube the tube generates harmonics that does not exist in the signal ( so the tube function like a sound generator ), the problem is that we can hear that inexistents harmonics in the original signal, great!.
Other issue with tubes: the frecuency response of a tube amp changes with the changes in the impedance of the speakers: great equalizer! ( this is one of the reasons why the tube electronics have a degraded sound reproduction at the extremes of the audio frecuency response ( for understand this issue you have to have a full range loudspeaker in your audio system ).
So: When do you really can hear what is in the recording when you are using tube electronics?, answer: NEVER, nobody can, the phisics laws are the phisics laws and nobody can change it.
I know that everibody there loves this equalized sound, no problem with this, understand: I'm not against the tube electronics: I'm in favor of the music, that's all.. But all of you are very far from the music than the people that have SS electronics ( today there is no SS sound. This is a myte of the past ).
All of you, music lovers, have to give you a chance to hear the reallity of the music reproduction with SS at your home: it is a different sound?, shure it is: it is nearest to the music. Yes, you have to re-equalized your ears and mind.
Not only I but anyone can probe what I'm speaking here. All the tube manufacturers knows that ( but that is their business ), the reviewers knows that ( but that is their business ), the dealers know that ( but that is their business ). ( take a look to the review of the Wavac SH-833 amplifier that has a retail price of only: 350,000.00 dls ).
Tube lovers ask you why John Atkinson, Larry Greenhill, Anthony Cordesman, R. Harley,... use SS electronics in their audio system.
Sam is up to you.
Regards and enjoy the music.

I have to come to the defense of tubes here. Yes, perhaps tubes cannot reproduce the whole spectrum as accurately as transistors. And, I will even concede that tubes may or may not add harmonics that were not in the original signal.

HOWEVER, there are things that tubes do that sound more like real, live music than transistors. It is true that the gap has narrowed and there are great transistor pieces out there. I should know as I have owned both tube amps and solid state simultaneously.

To my ears and inclinations, it is not as important that tubes may slightly shift the frequency balance or enrich the harmonics of the signal, as it is that they make MUSIC more convincingly, and they sound more pleasant to listen to. There is less listening fatigue with tube gear in general compared to transistor. While the gentleman above is entitled to his opinion, likewise, we who enjoy what tubes have to offer are entitled to an equal respect from transistor-philes.
Dear Kevziek: You don't have to do any tubes defense, first because I'm not against them and second because we can't change the phisics laws. BTW, I'm not a transistor-phile: I'm a music lover.
Like you I live for some time with tube electronics till I can understand what happen with the music reproduction through tubes and through transistors in front of live music.
When I change to transistors electronics, it was a terrible experience because my perception of the home sound reproduction was equalized for tubes electronics. It takes me a long time to have all in order with the SS electronics: I have to change the loudspeakers position, I change, too, all my cables, detect some other problems in my audio chain system that with tubes electronics I don't knew there exist: but when everything was right on target, the experience was and is amazing: you can be near to the whole thing: MUSIC. You have to try, again.
Be patience with a change like this.
Regards and enjoy the music.
