Science & Sound, Tube or Solid State Phono?

I have heard that for very low level signals solid state will be better than tubes. I am curious as to the impressions out there. I would love to know from a theoretical point of view that is made for the layman what is better or what are the strengths of each. I would also like to know if anyone has compared similar price high end phonos both tube & solid state and had a preference and why? Does the choice depend on the cartridge in use?

Dear Dgad: +++++ " Does the choice depend on the cartridge in use? " +++++

IMHO a full well designed Phonolinepreamp is a design for any cartridge , its quality performance depended only on its own good thinking design and its design execution not with which cartridge is used. From my point of view a Phonolinepreamp must be a Universal-use one it does not matter MC/MM type cartridge, output cartridge level or anything else.

Regards and enjoy the music.
