Switched From Tubes To SS???Glad You Did???

I've had my share of both and have to say both have there virtue's , but with the sound quality of some of the new solid state gear now available and without the hassle of tubes that is often the way to go . But In the end , when i'm auditioning equipment it will be the sound that will make the decision for me , not the technology .

Although we haven't gone completely solid state, our system at the lake still uses tubes, the main home system has slowly gone all SS . Tubes have the smooth, liquid advantage, but solid state will always be superior in clarity, dynamic swing and definition. I've never looked at tubes as fun, more of a nuisance for folks that just want to listen to music.
I've pondered over which is superior for many years, in the end it doesn't really matter, it would be churlish to think we could live without either..
