Tubes vs Solid State


In the interest of power is there much really sacrificed in quality of sound in choosing SS over tubes. I heard the transistors are semi-conductors while tubes are conductors. Can semi-conductors truly replicate the tube sound or does it come close enough.

Try an Aloia with the inductive power supply......close, and maybe part of a cigar?
you should have both ready to switch depending on your itch. but it has to be single ended tube and a good mosfet design like the bel amps.
I would have to say get and retain both. I like to switch
every once and a while, they both have their inherit
strengths and weaknesses.
would you recommend with my system - NAD Silver Series CD, Pre and Power (250w) plus Dynaudio 1.3SE.

I am very interested in hearing the tube difference - would I hear enough of a difference maintaining the NAD Pre?
Racers I agree. I've owned the best of tubes for years before hearing the Aloia(inductive). It's the best I've heard with reliability and cost
