There is no measurement that I know of that definitivly says that tubes are better than solid state. Tubes clip differently, but they can mimic that with solid state also.
Given the software which is available to anyone with a computer, you can make a solid state amp sound like a tube if you so desire. I've heard it done years ago.
Tubes are for people who just love antiques and the status that supposedly goes with them.
