Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?

I never heard of audiophiles whose reference system had transistor amplification. It is always tubes. But maybe there are exceptions.

My main components are pretty old, but were pretty well reviewed back in the day. How's it sound compared to today's finer SS amps/preamps? Probably holds it's own without embarrassing itself. Works fine for me. Now, if you compared that to a system with Dan D'Agostino amplification and a DCS source, I would expect it to get smoked, but since I don't have that....I'm cool with calling it a "reference system". I can hear a difference when I change a source, a cable, a plug, whatever, so....good enough for me.
