Switched to SS because 1. I'm a worrier. Got tired of wondering if it's time to change the tubes before they explode or some other catastrophe. 2. Tubes, IMO, tend to homogenize whatever you play through them. SS is better at textures and dynamics. 3. The expense every two years.
My preamp does have tubes. I may try some of the newer SS preamp designs in the future (Pass, BAT, etc.).
