So right. A tube amp is simple for anyone to fix. It's easier to replace six or eight tubes than it is to find out which of the 40 or 50 transistors inside has failed.
Provided the tubes are good, they can last much longer than a ss amp. Replace the handful of electrolytic caps. every ten or fifteen years and you are all set for another decade. Or you can do the same with a ss amp, although replacing 40 electrolytics in it might be a hassle...
I literally spent 30 years buying one ss amp after another trying to find one that had the sound I wanted. None did. Most of them sounded the same to me, regardless of how much I spent.
