Interesting question... I found that in top notch gear I listened to, whether it was solid state or tube, the differences in sound quality overall seemed to have more in common than not.

I found this to be a telling phenomenon (at least to my ears).

Maybe what I really mean is that the musical presentation of my favorite solid state and tube gear had more in common than not and that there were minor differences of liking "this" particular quality better than "that" quality on one piece of gear over the other, although both pieces may be exceptional (heck, they both may sound like crap to others ears... YMMV)

Oh well, at least I'm consistent...

Happy Listening!

If we are talking about preamps the tube reliability should be very good. - Ralph 09:00:29 09/11/14 (0)
