I started this to allow discussion for wether you should have SS or Tube. Have fun. I am not much interested. I like tube myself. Don't know why just like tube. Tube for me.

 

Am I the only one that has no idea what you're talking about?

 

A little more detail will help

 

 

SS is cheaper, but Tube will always give your more authenticity. That's what they used back in the days anyway. I think if cost were not an issue, just about any purist would go for tube over SS. Although some SS's are very very good and can come close to be a good imitation tube.

 

My thread got highjacked so I started one for us elsewhere. Sorry If you don't know. I really started it just for those that do. Thanks

 

Tube will give you a much richer sound, but SS rarely fail. I say tube.

 

tube if you have $$ to tube roll
a good SS can be just as good, and expensive.
i am using tube

 

Amplifier - tube version versus solid state?
