Is solid state obsolete?

I have owned all varieties, solid state, hybrids, tubes, digital amps--and nothing but nothing beats a well made class A ss amp--nothing! THE REST ARE ALL SUPERSITION, enjoyable superstition, but still a lie.

LOL--I love being called stupid! Look , there are inherent problems and strengths with each of the genres and sub-genres of amplification. I still own a 300B plant and a digital lump because I enjoy them, they're fun, but a well designed class A ss is as close as we can get to real music--are they perfect, no, never will be, but...

Class A Tube amp? Touche! My problem with tubes is their inherent inaccuracies, fat is fat, not real. The inherent harshness of solid state is traded in a for a "rightness" in a well designed Class A amp. But like I say I enjoy my steak with a lot of fat! So bring on the tubes any time, but lets not pretend either!

The old "different strokes for different folks" still applies here. I love going into my local dealers and listening to his mega-tube Audio Research stuff. BUT MAGGIES AND TOOBS--NO WAY, NOT FOR ME. IT"S MAGGIE WITH BOOBS FOR ME! (insert smiley face for the serious minded).
