Thank you all I think under these economic stresses & supply issues I will stick with SS amps. I am looking at a Parasound classic 2250 v2 vs Emotiva DR 2 anybody ever own either ? 

Thx you again. 

Keep rocking today alittle Joe Cocker & Leon Russell

Morning all,

When I first wrote the post I knew the word romantic wasnt the right choice but that was all that came to mind. The better word should have been soothing mello tone flavor, but in all my audio journey Ive never heard a tube amp even to this day except on youtube posts not the same. So all Ive read is from others with tube amps and their descriptions on tubes.

Why Im sticking to SS amps is my brother and son both play guitars so from the supply issues and cost of tubes is why Im staying with SS amp.

Thxs all very interesting replies especially the one about grabbing the tubes and feeling oh so romantic. 🤣
