Trade- off, power SS vs tube magic.


As everyone knows, tubes are expensive. Can a higher power SS substitute for this "subjective" magic. One reviewer said he made the transition and did not miss the tubes. What do you say? Let's try to keep the speaker variable out of this.

I forgot, this is "Audiogon", not "Musiogon". Those of us who can appreciate the subtle "nuances" that only a tube amp can deliver; must contend with those who can not.
Orp10, if you're one of the few that can appreciate the subtle nuances that ONLY a tube amp can deliver, then why did you ask the question in the first place? Not that I agree since I sit listening to magical music provided by my humble
SS system. And Class D amplification at that. (Previous amp was tubed)
Music is a peaceful endeavor, so let's leave the flames at home, OK? As Prince said, "I have two sides, and they both friends."
I'm with you Bojack, it's just that not everyone appreciates my sense of humor.
