A key difference is that a tube product will require a small amount of upkeep and maintenance. However, some tube companies make their tube amps sound more solid-state like (for power) and some solid-state products can sound very tube-like. Do they sound different? Yes, we believe so. One doing it in silicone with current and the other doing it in a glass vacuum with voltage. However, a solid-state output transistor and a tube basically do the same thing. A solid-state amp typically has a single power transformer and no output transformers. They are a power transformer and two output transformers (one for each channel) that convert the voltage from the output tubes to current at the speaker posts. You’ll notice most stereo tube amps have 3 large, heavy objects, typically at the rear. Voltage alone can’t drive a speaker, hence the reason for needing output transformers. The biggest difference between them is that a solid-state amp is driven by current throughout the output devices and a tube is driven by voltage. Once you accept the reality that a tube amp and a solid-state amp are very different in how they operate, you’ll perhaps better understand that each have their own traits. We stand behind our products and our warranty is a demonstration of our commitment to quality and reliability.The whole tube or solid-state dilemma is somewhat of a misnomer. With a Dayton Audio 5 year warranty, it’s more than a guarantee, it’s a promise.
