I am in total agreement with tubegroover and kevziek. Tubes are just more musical. I used to own a Classe 70 amp, then upgraded to my current Aronov. Wow, what a difference. Definitely feels like a performer is in the room singing just for me. Yippeee!! I can immerse myself for a while and enjoy the musical moment. For me, that's what this is all about. Helps relieve stress and all that. Of course, its not as accurate as SS, bass not as tight. But, my speakers don't have much base anyway. Although, a few years ago I listened to a dealer demo system with a pair of Levinson No.33 monoblocks, Levinson CDT/DAC, Wilson Grand Slamms, and Transparent cables and boy, that was REAL good, an event for me really. It was CD too! Reminds me of the tube 'presence' and much more. I guess the top-level SS might have everything you could ever want. (haven't hear a top-flight tube system yet though)
