You bring up very valid points and for years,that has been a problem with ARC products.They followed the philosophy of getting the signal to noise ratio at its lowest especially in the phono stage,so that required the use of semiconductors in the signal path.There isn't a problem doing this,unless you go overboard with it as they did.I believe in using solid-state regulation in the power supply of a preamp because when the regulator is a gain type NPN transistor,it also multiplies the capacitance at the output and you measure pretty much a flat DC line on the scope at the lowest scale.
ARC does have the classic series now and that has gone back to more old school type circuitry.
