2 channel Poll: Vote: Do you use Tubes or SS?

after using tubes for almost 12 years now, 2 of those using hybrids, i am now going to use Solid State amps for the 1st time in my audio life. Reasons? I have too many high maitanence things in my life (job,girlfriend car, not in any particular order) and can't see using 16 output tubes in addition to the 32 I use for source gear. So the question, of the memebers here, chime in, do you use SS or Tubes??

Btw: this isnt a Tubes vs SS is better thread.

Both, GTA Sep-3, and Bryston 7BSTs. The tube preamp seems to
capture some of the benefits of tubes with the hassles. I haven't tried tube rolling yet, so things could get interesting. Solid state power amplification seemed way more
reliable than looking for matched sets of power tubes.
