Default Damping factor - tubes versus solid state?

I've noticed that solid-state amplifiers tend to have much
higher damping factors than tube amps. Is damping factor measured the
same way for both types of amps (load impedance divided by output
impedance)?
What's a good minimum damping factor that won't introduce
audible artifacts, and is that minimum number the same for both
solid-state and tube amplifiers?

Thanks,
Scott Gardner
