Went from a Jolida Music Envoy pre to the Modwright LS-100. Had solid state MCormack Line Drive before the Jolida. Wanted to try tubes. Liked them both, but couldn't get used to the tube noise. Believe me, I spent plenty of cash on various expensive, as well as inexpensive tubes, but just couldn't adjust. Loved the sound, except for the noise. Had a lot of bad luck with noisy tubes so I went back to solid state with an Ayre K-1xe and haven't changed a thing since. Spending money on music instead.
