SolidState has more accurate imaging and more precise.
a well designed Solid state preamp,or phono stage
if using very good parts quality thecapacitors resistors and a transformer based unit can sound very Tube like and have lower distortion , but at a cost $$. I sold both, Vacuumtube is less complex to build and tubes has a more forgiving nature. Matching your speakers, cables, electronics has a Big say in final decision.
