RE: Name a SS Amplifier for $750 or Less That Sounds as Good as This Tube Amp

"...but the ones being demoed on You Tube sound just as transistory as anything else I have ever owned from the 70's."

So for SS amp comparison you are relying on what you hear on YouTube which is recorded music playing in an unfamiliar room with who knows what equipment and playing through some speakers then rerecorded by some electronics and streamed through the Internet to your computer, through your electronics and out the speakers that you are actually hearing the music through. Sounds perfectly legit to me.
