I had a solid state Int for 20 years.When it came time to upgrade I went to audition a Sim I5.I liked the unit and was ready to go solid state.The sales guy was hooking up a tube Int and i sat and listened.Boyh amps where in the 2k range.I was floored by the sound comming from the Cary CAD 75I.I became feom that moment on a tube junkie.If you get the chance listen side by side.they not for everyone.If maint and cost and not sound are your main driving forces.Go solid state.If sonics are what drives you,tubes will deliver the goods.
