Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did???


As the title says I'm looking for those who have changed from Tube Front Ends to SS(especially mid level gear)& am wondering if you've been happy with the change,what if anything you miss about tubes & what you've gained by switching to SS.Thanks guys,take care.

I kept my audio refinement separates over a Cronus magnum. The audio
refinement gear sounded more tube like to me. I grew up with tubes in my
dad's Pilot receiver.
I've said it before: Tubes are more fun. There, I said it again. Anybody currently using SS amps for anything other than live sound reinforcement is anti-fun. I'm sorry, but it's true, and there's nothing wrong with that so don't feel bad as there are a lot of people in the "anti-fun" boat. Big boat.
Singleendedsingle: What ss headamp did you go to? I just purchased an Audeze LCD-2 and am looking for a headamp. Was considering a Woo but might go Burson. Only have enough money for one highend system. Either highend cans and lowend system, or lowend cans and highend system......can't do both.
When I look at my compliment of fairly expensive tubes and consider the expense of having to replace them someday - hopefully well into the future - I truly envy those who prefer SS (Mezmo, are you nuts: "I want to be a tube person”). Maybe I just haven’t heard the right system but when I listen to SS, I find that I’m more impressed by the stereo; and with tubes, I’m more impressed with the music. I hope that I find something to change that before re-tubing.

Tube guys r 'into' gear, solid state guys r into music. There, I said it....:-)
Been there, done it. Listen to more tunes w/solid state. That said, luv a
nice hybrid integrated.....the music never stops. Don't feel bad as there r
lot of audio fools in the 'anti music' boat. It's a small little dinghy though
cause most learn what's 'more than enough' & learn to curb their 'euphonic'
excesses.
