Anyone has a reference system where amplification is SS ?


I never heard of audiophiles whose reference system had transistor amplification. It is always tubes. But maybe there are exceptions.

I believe that I have a reference quality system.   Pass labs xa100.8 mono blocks.   MSB DAC.  Wilson Sasha. Aurender. Transparent audio reference cable through your.   

Listening to my reference SS system today, all day yesterday it my tube system, hybrid tomorrow. 

Tubes, still rule the earth, even in 2023. Amazing since they’ve been around for over a Century. 

And tubes will continue to rule, no matter what some people think or want. With few exceptions, like large scale music in a big room with particular speakers.

I will also note that I don't trust most people's objectivity or/and hearing. What I hear from many is - it is good because it is mine. Not to mention that few can afford million dollar set up, or even $200k one. This sucks, we all want reference level systems.
