I always had SS equipment, always was SS guy (did not know any better).
But bad thing happened to me, I heard good tube equipment on audio show (Lamm, Hovland, others), and behold the best ML or mbl gear just sounded like canned music. Spectral was different, powerful but very unmusical.
Now I know how inferior SS equipment is, and do not like it. It is not a good filling. SS guy should not listen to good tubes it can ruin their world view.
