I raised his hackles by quoting two respected designers and

That's utterly absurd.
Tube circuitry is heavily flawed.
Vinyl is hopelessly flawed.
Which doesn't bode well for the quality of D'Agostino and Meitner's
_current_ equipment. :-)

Actually, I feel it is possible to do a pretty good job with tubes in
some cases. A couple of EEs I respect have said that, as with SS, you
can get good results with tubes if you use them properly. I have
certainly heard good results with some tube preamps, for instance.
It appears to me that the best SS and tube gear are all converging on
the same point - neutral and stable operation. The best of each breed
sound very similar.
However, I choose to own SS myself for a number of reasons, with heat
and maintainance being up there at the top.

This access of sanity must be encouraged. What made you into a
semidissident from the faith taking cautious steps towards audio? This
is encouraging. I'll keep up the good work.
