The ups and downs of tube vs. SS...


I’d like to hear from the people that have had both. Why tube? Why SS? What are the ups and downs of both? How does owning one or both differ? I’ve always owned SS, but also lusted after tubes....

Tube are nice , "But" unreliable ,  The bias bad tubes go wrong all the time . I can not make year without a problem my amp is in the shop know. Got a year out of it 1st week there was problem I fix it my self  after a year I had to send it out . They do sound nice . There are some very good SS out there  "BIG BUCKS" Best bet intergrated amp with tube preamp easy to replace and the tubes are 10 bucks
