Having had solid state systems for nearly fifty years of listening, I bought my first tube amp earlier this year. I really think a lot depends on subjective preferences. But, although there are some things SS generally does better, I have to say, for pure musical pleasure of just listening to the music and being happy, *I LOVE TUBES*. (Line Magnetic 34 integrated, 12AX7, 12AU7 pair, 4 EL34s, and a quad of KT77's on the way.)
