Tube vs solid state (with all apologies)


So… I’ve been building guitar amps for a few years… and very familiar with tubes and circuitry…  and just entering the audiophile world. 
Is there a definitive opinion or discussion somewhere for help in determining where and or when to apply either?

There are pros and cons with each, and each situation is different, so there are no absolutes here. Obviously guitar amps and hifi amps are completely different animals with different objectives (a fact that should not to be overlooked), but for hifi use I just have not been able to replicate the sound I like with SS, so I go with tubes, and likely always will.

Not sure I’d be as picky about the sound of a guitar amp, but it’s understandable that folks who play want a certain sound. Always best to just go with what you like.
