That’s an interesting question! I’ve heard a lot of people say tube amps have that warm, classic sound that feels more natural while solid-state amps are cleaner and easier to take care of. I’ve never owned either, but I think both have their charm depending on what you like to hear. It’s nice that solid-state amps have improved so much, sounds like you can’t really go wrong with either these days.
