TUBE AMP LOVERS - What SS amp makes you smile???


I'm looking for input from tube amp lovers that have switched from tube to solid state amplifiers and not looked back.

What tube amp did you move on from?

What SS amp provided the same level of musicality, keeping you smiling for the long-haul?

Thanks.

Tubegroover,
Grannyring brought up an important point about differences in wire affecting
SS and Tube sound. No harm, no foul. A question was asked and
answered appropriately by Grannyring.

Do yourself a favor, buy this combo of wire. I bet you'll be selling your high
priced speaker/interconnect just as I did. You should read the Day Blog
thoroughly whether a SS or Tubegroover as I am.

Shirokazu Yazaki-san, the designer of a SS integrated (SPEC), reviewed
by Day at Positive Feedback is the gentleman who let everyone know
about this wire combination through Day's blog. Yazaki-san is also a major
300B Maven in Japan, both as designer and builder; he has a unique point
of view that just might get you closer to "real sound."

Grannyring, please start that other thread. Best all, Rob

Best, Rob
McCormack DNA 750 mono's. Owned everything. These sound like 30k. Never know in this game.
I still listen to my unison 845 integrated,but when it comes to solid state I listen to my YBA 600 power amp and my YBA 100 passion integrated very tube like sound.
