My reply is, for the most part, good tube and good SS have more in common than not. In my case, I use a transformer-based passive line stage, a tube phono pre, and tube power amp(s).
It was not until I built suitable speakers for SET amps, that I really noticed the difference between tubes and SS, and push-pull tube amps.
The musicality of the 300B tube has opened up a richer connection with music than I've experienced before. It's something I recommend you experience. If you have a friend, or dealer, that has equipment that does justice to music as done by high-sensitivity speakers, and SET amps, go have listen.
Happy Thanksgiving, regards,
Dan
