Tubes vs. solid state.


I just switched back to my ss equipment and can't see how I listened to ss for so many years and thought that I had a good system, maybe the equipment needs to be left on for some time.
But regardless of that, the difference is startling. I know that my tube equipment is not the same degree of excellence as my ss, but now ss sounds lean, thin lifeless. Have my listening priorities changed? One thing I noticed; my listening perception adapts to the sound present in the room. As I write this the sound is improving incremently.
Anyone share the same experience??
I will post as I will continue to listen and notice differences.
Ss is simaudio p-5 w-5, tubes are Cj premier 4 amp and audio experience a2se preamp.
Are there ss preamps that will satisfy or am I smitten by bubes I mean tubes.

I was asking FWIW..but all can answer. I was just wondering if it's all possible that the brain will adjust to a coloration that is inherit in tubes. This coloration might just be very appealing to the human ear and thats all.

Tvad, or ad nauseum

Schipo, the point I was making is that I do not know what gear is being used when I go to the rooms to listen but consistantly when I like the sound it has tubes. This is a very casual (unscientific) observation, heck I WANT to like ss so I do not have to buy tubes but it ain't worth it for me.

thanks

Tvad, no need to "IMO" that post; it's pretty much unimpeachable. It seems to me that the "tube vs. SS" debate has been so pervasive on these threads throughout the years that it belongs in the same class as the "Ali vs. Tyson" debate. There's no answer but it's fun. Also, the issue is so fundamental and subjective by its nature, that everyone has an opinion and can get involved. IMO
