The better tube amps sound more similar than different to the better solid state amps, and visa-versa. An "uncolored" sound is the holy grail, IMO.Good tube amps inject a touch of vibrancy without sounding overly sweet and syrupy, good SS amps provide dynamics without sounding overly dry and sterile.
