Funny how a good tube system is said to have many characteristics of ss and a good ss system is said to be liquid and have the bloom of tubes.That should tell us that we like the dimensionality and liquidity of tubes but the impact, speed and precision of ss. I'm a tube guy generally speaking but I have heard ss that I could live with, like D'Agostino amps which I would choose over most tube amps. In short, as always it depends.
