Integrated: SS or Tube?


I'm currently using a Rowland Concentra II integrated, and while it's a great amp, I am wondering if I should go to a tube integrated amp. The Tenor is out, too expensive. The new BAT integrated tube is interesting. What about the Jadis DA60? Any feedback about this amp? I use the amp primarily for music.

Remainder of system is: 47 labs digital front end, silversmith digital and interconnects, analysis plus oval 9 biwire speaker cable, von schweikert vr5 hd speakers.

Thanks!

John, though I have never heard the Concentra or the II, I believe it to be a nice integrated. We as 'philes get restless time to time, if the Concentra is bringing you joy, don't do something hasty and that you may regret, but if you truely feel you are not satisfied, by all means, start shopping!

My speculation is, the BAT is also a fine integrated, but you may just be taking a step sideways. The BAT and Concentra being different in certain areas yet on the same playing field. (This excludes the fact that one may or may not gel better or worse with the rest of your system.)
