Anyone who has even barely delved into the Audiophile realm will quickly learn that these people that love that "warm" sound of tubes are totally conceited.
It's like these people *cough* Jack Frost *cough* think that they know something that 90% of all other audio connoisseurs don't. The truth is that Tube fans are like Corvette owners. They think they own the ultimate driving machine and thus their shit don't stink, but in reality, they are too poor to step to a real machine and are thus left to rule the trailer park.

One day maybe they'll see, that there's more to audio that disgustingly high noise floor and embellished recreation of recordings....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif

I had to dig this one up. I run an 18 watt SET tube amp and really enjoy it. I'm far from snobbish or feeling elite. I run solid state in the living room as well. Tubes relax me more without the graininess of some ss. I enjoy listening with lights off while watching the glow of the tubes. Also; tube rolling is fun and just by switching tubes you can obtain a different sound. It's a personal thing and no more.

What is solid state? Is that a normal amplifier?
