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.
To answer your question and in my opinion, NO. There are plenty of variabls as already stated about plus your own preerences. That being said, there are ways to modify both to make them better but I have never heard a SS amp do what a tube amp can do in the right system. Same goes for a tube amp. Trade offs can be limited but then it comes down to person taste.
Who would've guessed, a thread about SS vs. tubes. Another thread where things get contetious and Bill is in the middle of it. Another thread where things make no sense at all and Tvad trys to reason for us. And another senseless thread forwarded by Orpheus in his endearing passive/agressive fashion. Who says that history doesn't repeat itself?
