Is pure class A ss the equal to tubes?


If someone listens at low levels which would be the best? The reason I'm asking is that I'm undecided on a tube or solid state amp. I'll be using either one with a VTL preamp. Thanks for any input.

Some people may say it is, but it really relates to the particular gear in question. A great SS Class A amp may sound better than a less-than-great tube amp. Or vice-versa.
You don't state which speakers you have, which can make a very big difference in which might be a better selection.

In my opinion, with all things being as equal as possible, I'd prefer a good SET tube amp over anything, with the right speakers.
