Default I just am not satisfied

I just am not satisfied with the sound from any solid state amplifiers.
I have tried high end home amps and even some top of the line amps made
for commercial use. (Stage equipment).

I miss my old tube system that I had years ago. Those tube amps pumped
out 300W (RMS) and had more actual power than my current 1200W (RMS)
solid state system..

Semiconductors are made from sand, and that is what they sound like. I
like the warm sound of the metal elements and the heat of the filament
inside of tubes. Plus I miss watching the dancing purple glow (purple
haze) inside of the tubes. (You dont see anything in solid state amps).

I had no real reason to post this other than state my opinion and get it
off my chest.


Ummmmm... brand of tube amp that made 200 watts? That would be 6 x KT88/6550 per channel. More on this later.
