Any thoughts out there ?
Solid state vs. tube
Anyone currently using either one of these would love your feedback

Personally I’d take a Herron VTPH over either, so maybe add that one to your list.

I've demoed the1201 Allnic and heard the Stellar in few setups. The Allnic has a tube "presence" which my ears prefer. The Stellar will be the last word in quiet. Minimal tube noise from Allnic is only when blasting the volume during quiet passages and between cuts. Not a deal breaker if you're already a tube user. Try a demo both, take the the small hit on return shipping.
