I'm definitley not a tube guy and, I think that it is there that you would find the most differences in sound.

I have owned more than one solid state amp at a time. I thought the differences between my Hafler and Apt were minor. Slight differences in passages here and there, but I was almost splitting hairs.

And, if you're not actively "a/b"-ing, them you'd likely never notice.

I'll defer from the definitive, since there are others here who know loads more.

Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.
