A good tube preamp with tubes to taste and coupled with a great SS power amplifier is IMHO the best thing since sliced bread. It is like having your cake and eating it. Great SS amplifiers come in various topologies - overall design being most important - but I seem to like MOSFET output stages most and Class A.
As far as fuses go....well I stay clear of such garbage boat anchor components - anything that changes audibly due to a change of a fuse is obviously a hopeless design to begin with. Good luck to those who own such ridiculously finicky pieces of equipment.
