This is a wide controversial subject. From when I was doing service work
on
high end amplifiers, I found the high end solid state amplifiers to be
very
accurate. When doing characteristics tests, such as distortion, phase,
frequency response and power handling tests, just to mention a few, the
solid state amplifiers came out on top.

The tube amplifiers generally have softer clipping when driven a little
too
hard.

If you are clippin a headphone amp , then you deseve whatever you get.
Either headphone or amp abuse, or puchased an inappropriate device for your
phones.
