Back to tubes again, should have never left! Will this ever stop??

Akai Receiver
Nakamichi Stasis Receiver
Van Alstine Omega III 440HC
Electrocompaniet ECI-4 SE Integrated Amp
Spectron Musician II
Parasound Halo JC-1
ASL Hurricane 200DT
Berning ZH270
Joule Electra VZN-100
Plinius SA-102
Ayre V-5X
BAT VK-600 w/BP
McCormack DNA-500
Conrad Johnson Premiere 350SA
BAT VK-500 w/BP (currently own, favorite SS amp)
Dodd 120 tube monoblocks (ahhhhh toobz! EL34-based, borrowed these from a friend for 3 weeks, loved 'em, ordered 'em, now have to wait a couple months for my very own pair. Sweet!)

I never understood why anyone would even consider buying SS amps when for the smae price or even less you can get a much better sounding tube amp.
Beats me?????????????

UPDATE
Started back when I was in Jr. High:
DeWald integrated tube amp, about 30 WPC (fried it) 1960-1978
Nikko integrated ss amp, 40 WPC (sold it) 1978-1980
Hafler DH-200 ss amp, 100 WPC (gave to my younger brother) 1980-2003
Odyssey Stratos ss amp, 150 WPC (sold it) 2003-2005
Krell KAV-400xi integrated amp 200 wpc (I think I'm done) 2005 - present

>For me I started:
>Adcom GFA-565 monoblocks
>Rotel RB-990bx

That is interesting because that is about how I started. (GFA-555 - I listened to this one level matched in a blind test with GFA-545 and the 555 sounded better - a little less grain.) Then got the Rotel which I liked more, and now am looking at a used Counterpoint.

Let's see if I can remember. . .

1. Hafler (built as a kit)
2. Adcom 555
3. Classe 150
4. Dynaco ST-70 (Rebuilt Van Alstine kit) used as headphone amp.
5. Deja Vu pushpull 45 amp (still kept as backup/alternative)
6. Audionote (uk) Kageki (parallel 2a3 SET)
