Go get 'em Trevor : )Between Chris' post and Ozzy's response, it sure sounds like SS is a WHOLE lot more reliable, doesn't it ? No costly vintage tubes popping, no transformers going up in smoke, you don't have to worry about leaving your amp / preamp on all the time, etc... Sean

So much for my Cary lust . . .
They are just a different "animal" than SS and should be treated as such. One of the systems that i have uses a tubed preamp, tubed power amp, tubed DAC, etc... I've not found a tubed tuner that i want as of yet, otherwise that would be in there too : )Keep in mind that the tubed preamp is 30+ years old and the power amp is now 41 years old. As such, they've obviously proven that tubes and tube circuitry can last a long, long time and still sound good. Sean

a Pass Aleph 30 gobbling up 250 watts continuously and acting like a barbey-q. But, God help me, I love it.
but almost all high bias SS amps sound best when left on. This is not to mention the phenomenal amount of in-rush current that you avoid time and time again by leaving it on. Sean
