Some interesting responses so far.I presently own both. But the caveat to this is the circuitry and components that each employ.
I own both SS and Tube and it always comes down to the components and the terrain they are employed in. In the last 20 or so years, designers have recognized that the circuitry is most important - simpler is always better, and anyone who disagrees is referencing an older, slick and beguiling sound.
Some examples might be the Citation 2 or 5, Marantz 9 etc. Very nice, but not capable of SOTA. For SS the older Sony V-fet's etc. when restored, are not bad either. Take both, update and simplify the circuit path, and you have some serious challenges to what is State of the Art today, and in some cases even better.
What goes around, comes around with a little different view (if you take a large perspective on things).
