TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile???


I'm looking for input from tube amp lovers that have switched from tube to solid state amplifiers and not looked back.

What tube amp did you move on from?

What SS amp provided the same level of musicality, keeping you smiling for the long-haul?

Thanks.

McCormack DNA 750 mono's. Owned everything. These sound like 30k. Never know in this game.
I still listen to my unison 845 integrated,but when it comes to solid state I listen to my YBA 600 power amp and my YBA 100 passion integrated very tube like sound.
Spectral does it for me. However it must be a complete system. I have enjoyed full tube system for decades until I finally broke down and did the whole Spectral/ MIT system. Really enjoy it, especially with analog.
That's very interesting, Carey1110.

I never had the pleasure of hearing an all-Spectral system. However, I did once own a Spectral preamp and my memory of it was anything but "tube like."

Thanks for your input and emphasizing that it needs to be a Spectral system, throughout.
That's very interesting, Carey1110.
This clearly demonstrates buy what sounds best and not getting hung up tube vs SS. All amps sound different!
