Ray,At the EXTREME of the "high end", tubes and SS seem to be on a par. Look at the best work of Bob Crump and John Curl, who most definitely use their ears. Unfortunately, that kind of equipment (tubed or SS) will be forever out of the reach of "ordinary" folks with limited financial means.
Click down but 1 notch and tubes RULE. Also, a large body of experience shows that for the DIYer obtaining highly satisfactory results is best done with tubes.
While all sorts of advances in Science and Technology have started with the work of theoreticians, hypotheses are always subject to the ACID TEST of experiment. Stu Hegeman embodies (IMO) what an audio engineer should be about. Stu was competent using both his ears and his slide rule. He worked in both the recording and the reproduction of music. The QUALITY of the man's work speaks for itself.
