Tube amps - what 3 things…


Hello all,
 

I am close to purchasing a tube amp moving away from SS. So far I have listened to a pure sound, PL, and allnic. 


Question for all you experienced owners - if you could do it all over again, what 3 things/features would you look for in an amplifier and what 3 things/features would you not invest in again?

 

thanks

Sold all my tube gear except for a couple of guitar amps.  No regrets.

No more noisy tubes, better bass extension and tone with SS, just take my pre-amp out of standby and go...

No more headaches getting good vintage tubes, no more need for a finicky vintage tube tester, no wasting time tube "rolling", no more worries about Russian supply or Chinese garbage, etc.

No worries about dog noses getting burned.

I do miss the cool glowing glass bottles in the dark, but that's about it.

Just my 2 cents.

I also sold my 1936 Ford...
