I have moved in the other direction. Tubes to solid state.
Rarely have I looked back.
Tubes are such a hassle.
Either they are breaking in or wearing out...
Warm -up time is expensive
Power is often lacking
You can never know if your tubes are just right - leading to uncertainty and tube rolling...
Then there are the insane prices for NOS tubes
If you have a SS amp that is satisfying to you, stick with it and save yourself lots of money and headaches.
Plus, SS designs are more reliable, no question about it no matter what some say.
