I had the same problem with my Uno's. Tubes sounded great but were a pain. I have THE answer. Aleph 3 (not 30). Avantgardes website used to have a few recommended amps on their website. The Aleph 3 was the only SS amp listed. This amp has cult statis for good reason. You can buy one for less than $1000 on Audiogon. If you get one and don't like it, don't worry about trying any other SS amps. If the Aleph 3 doesn't do it for you, no SS amp will. Just my experienced opinion.
