   I'm not particularly attached to *tubes* as I am to my tube amp, whose   
   musical qualities have thus far prevented me from buying any other amp   
   (including SS), for fear it will not be as good. I am not one of those who   
   'collects' amps - one at a time for me!   
      
   The only part of the technology I don't like is the heat, which in the   
   summer can be a problem. That is why I am considering getting a SS low   
   powered amp for especially hot days. If it is an improvement over my tube   
   amp, all the better. :)
