The best audio amps still use tubes. You cant reproduce their sound quality with any solid state stuff. I mightr be old, but my hearing still works.

Keep telling yourself that lie. Tube amps distort.
Audiophools are a dime a dozen for two-cent IQ.

Being old is working for you. Your inability to hear high frequencies will fit perfectly with a tube amplifier's lack of clean high frequency output. Tubes are known for their "euphonic" (read = "warm, inaccurate", sound.) Now on the other hand, if you want gut thumping bass, you just cannot beat a quality solid state amplifier. Tubed amps are also quite anemic in that department too. Tom
