I’ve had tube and SS gear. Synergy is everything. Sometimes it’s tube and sometimes it’s SS. I’ve kind of landed on my next system as tube pre and SS monoblocks, Synergy! YMMV.
Why did you lean one way or the other
Without judgement towards me, or from me, what did you find more enjoyable, going from tubes to solid state, and/or from solid state to tubes? My posts here have stated my reasons for going in a particular direction. What say you? Please, if you want to participate in this discussion, let's all be civil, mature, and realize, we all have a musical "taste" we are after, and because of this, there is no right or wrong, except for yourself.
