What year did tube lose to SS

Thanks for the answers.
The only point that I want to clarify is the use of "lost." As was posted I meant in terms of number built and then purchased by the consumers for good or bad reasons. Simply the numbers. Recall my analogy to CDs and Vinyl Records. Thus there was a time when you walked into a stereo and T.V. shop or even the predecessor to "Hi End" dealerships a brick and mortor "Stereo Salon." By then I didn't see anything tubed. I recall Macs but only as SS in the fancy stereo shops. I am unclearif they kept producing anything but the MC275 continuously. 1967 saw the introduction of the MC2105 an SS amp that had an occasional sale or two.
To be clearI am a tube person. And the Tube systems I use are winners.

It never did.

Let's not kid ourselves ... 99%, if not more, of what we use in our daily lives is solid state driven ... start with the PCs that we are using to view this thread. What portable devices are tube driven? 'Lost' may not be the best choice of words, but please don't think that tubes rule just because we purchase the occasional EL 34 or roll some NOS 12AT7s for more midrange bloom

I know this is an old thread but I didn't understand you contrasting tubes and transistors with analog and digital. Both tubes and transistors are fundamentally analog devices (although either can be used in digital circuits). But to your question, tube lost to solid state on day one if a more linear response is the only objective.

Tubes lost to solid state? Who knew???
