2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS?

after using tubes for almost 12 years now, 2 of those using hybrids, i am now going to use Solid State amps for the 1st time in my audio life. Reasons? I have too many high maitanence things in my life (job,girlfriend car, not in any particular order) and can't see using 16 output tubes in addition to the 32 I use for source gear. So the question, of the memebers here, chime in, do you use SS or Tubes??

Btw: this isnt a Tubes vs SS is better thread.

I had a tube pre and a SS power amp, thinking I was getting "the best of both"

One day I brought home a tube powe amp on demo, just to prove to myself that I did not need a tube power amp. The SS power amp was put up for sale the next day.

As an EE, I like fiddling with them, biasing them is part of the fun.

Plus, it makes my listening room nice and toasty.
