Started out with SS, McIntosh for amps and pre. Then moved to Audio Research tubes in pre, amp, phono but the game changer was the Nagra Tube Dac with separate power supply and Grimm MU1 streamer. Finally settled in with SS Burmester reference amp and pre-amp as well as phono stage. Still have the Nagra Tube Dac and Grimm. What I love about going back to SS is the speed of the bass and the overall soundstage. Primarily listen to Jazz and Rock.
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.
