Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better?

Yes tubes are more involved and require periodic maintenance. Hybrid tube components need not apply, these are really solid state.

Tubes are better for multiple reasons and yet the world and the trade prefers solid state. Those rare audio shops that are geared toward stereo listening and serious connoisseurs tend to Focus more on tubes.  Those in business who like to improve volumes tend to offer solid state.  All the YouTube channels looking to improve their business tend to be solid state.  Maybe because tubes require much more expertise to sell, and there's lesser and lesser to go around. Solid state is more of a fast food commodity.

Tubes are difficult for businesses due to all the maintenance and complexity so you see it less often. Much much easier to sell hybrids or solid state.

you can usually sus out a troll with a few clicks, takes no more than a minute

click username

click system

click marketplace feedback

click responses and discussions started

in this case... joined in 2020, nothing under system, not a single buy/sell transaction on audiogon, zero feedback -- but has started (not responded, to, but STARTED) 176 threads

patently obvious what this is... it starts with bull and ends with sh*t

I was the first member to post a response to this obviously trolling thread, and it was removed this morning, four days later apparently because I questioned the OP's intellect.
