What tube amp and what SS amp are you comparing ? Or are you just making an overall blanket statement?
Solid states more accurate than tubes?
Ever since I changed speakers from a pair of Maggie's to Proac's, I find the tonal balance more accurate with a ss, especially acoustic wood instruments. Tubes seem to lack that tonal accuracy. I believe it's a more realistic and accurate rendering. Is that a fair assessment? I'm not arguing tubes don't sound good with it's rich, warm sound but just not as accurate.

This is an interesting article on this subject! All tube amps do not sound the same and all solid state amps do not sound the same. It all depends on what amps you are comparing!! https://medium.com/collectors-weekly/could-an-old-school-tube-amp-make-the-music-you-love-sound-better-a35574739c45 |
