Hi Bigmacc
I would have to say I'm a SS guy when it comes to Audio, unless of course there is a 6.1 Dolby Digital Tube Amp I can use with my DVD player
(I bet there is for a price!)
Much more of a Videophile than an Audiophile.
I do enjoy listening to 45's and 78's on my old (1955) Magnavox
with the (4) 6V6 amp, but that's more about nostalgia than it is about sound quality.
