Why do tubed preamps image better than SS?


I realize this may not be true in every case, but can anyone explain why tubes offer more tangible imaging? Are there any SS pre's that can compete with a good tubed unit in this regard?

The question doesn't make any sense? Funny, I've read a lot about how tubed pre's have more lifelike imaging than ss. If fact, it's almost cliche. Next someone will say that tubes produce tighter bass than ss. And yes, there are certainly exceptions to every rule. And yes, there's more variability is speakers than other component's. Thanks to those of your who took your cranky med's before logging on.
