Tubes? Transistors? Which are better?

It's an audiophile debate: Which are better, tubes or transistors? I have a been a big fan of transistors for a long time, but recent auditions have turned me into a partial tube head. Which tube designs sound best? Do transistors sound better?

All roads lead to Rome... Good gear is good gear, transistor gear is just much harder to design. Very few transistor designs truly please me, but some do.
Tubes can run in much simpler (therefore easier to design, analyse and voice) circuits.
If I had to choose only one, it would be tubes, but my system is a mixture of both.....
