"Reference" SS vs"Reference" Tube

What is the difference in a Tube "Reference" amp,and a solid state "Reference" amp? Shouldn't they both sound the same if they where true "References"? The "perfect" sound doesn't make exceptions for transistor's nor tubes.Solid state sound's clinical,than tubes sound warm and fuzzy.My point is neither is perfect we just have to pick the type of color we like added to our music and be happy.

I wondered that too, notes stereophile's separate categories for Class A power amplifiers. It seems backwards to me. I would think class B, C, and D glass and sand amps would sound more different than Class A ones. But they only separate the Class A ones. Maybe it's just you and me Nrchy.
