I'll be painfully wishy-washy here. A combination of tubes and SS can capture most of both worlds. Don't feel like you have to be all tube or all SS. I think the best combination I have ever heard was a tube preamp with an SS amplifier. Plus the SS CD player. It was really amazing. And RonRyan: tubes are not necessarily mroe expensive. You might even build some tube gear from some place like Bottlehead.com or something. I like tubes. I've had SS for such a long time, and tubes really relax the whole musical picture for me, add some drama, and allow me to listen much longer into the evening than my all SS system. 2cents. Yeah.
