Right Peter ! Each type has its good and bad.... And remember that now a huge majority of music is digitally recorded, mastered and reproduced , the only real analog links in all this chain are the mike on one side and the amplifier and speakers on the other... From medieval music groups playing old acoustic instruments to ... analog synths riffs for a dance floor all is now mostly "digital" ! You can find the same kind of endless discussion about valve vs solid state amplifiers, mostly guitar amps, but even home stereos with all the "audiophile" delirium. One one hand there are good and bad amps, whatever they're made with tubes, transistors or banana skins... On another, and only if you want to overdrive your amp, tubes could be better because they don't clip the same way as trannies do, giving a different harmonic spectrum. Completely useless to listen to a CD at home, but for a blues - rock guitarist on stage maybe not. I say "maybe" because most of the distortion / overdrive pedals (even the most sought after collectors) are solid state. Cheers. J.F.
