Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?

You have not been around long , at least 65% of amplifiers are SS 

not tube . I owned a Audiostore for a decade, the progression of SS over the last 15 years SS Mosfets ,or bipolar transistors have many vacuum tube attributes in smoothness ,there are many more SS amps then tubes , plus some speakers need high current high SS is  to move panels or drivers ,Vacuum tube voltage driven .

look at Vitus Gryphon, Pass labs, Boulder , Ayre, Bryston Krell ,MBL
Luxman,Accuphase Goldman just to name a few and many are Very $$.

Luxman sells 100x more SS amps then tube for example  just look at their website

Jakes dad I don’t see what is your point ?

I never said anything about Luxman tube amp ,integrated amps not selling ,they are very good products.

my point was there is many times more Solid state sales  world wide nothing more.

I was not trying to debate ,just the facts much more SS gear is sold nothing more,

Priced from low expensive ,to insanely priced.

A Reference or of the highest standards ,many of us cannot afford.

you build your Reference Audio system as to the highest your budget will allow .

the speakers by far are usually the most expensive , I see the front end Dac on par as importance for this s where all music starts and it’s signal purity,

once compromised it cannot be made up for down stream ,,

andyes all cables especially digital can make a big difference in resolution .

you need 2 Quality Ethernet cables as well as usb , then a Quality Ethernet hub with a LPS power supply ,also your router very important if streaming 

linear Tube Technologies  excellent LPS for $700 betters anything even at $1k and up to 8 amp, this LPS can be ordered up to 19-20 volts 8 amps and needed on the router ,all new ones are normally 12v around 4 amp, same with power cords , and system cables look for connectors Copper ,NotBrass  ,3x better conductor Thst much less resistance sounds much better.
