Old "Boat Anchor" tube receivers vs. Solid State receivers?

Clive, I have an Icom R75, and although some will diss this radio, I
can tell I enjoy the "bells and whistles" a great deal. The stability
and crispness of the signal (both driftwise and in terms of AGC and S-
AM) that can be achieved with this radio is quite nice. The S-AM on
this set is only so-so, from what I understand - I would love to hear
what the really good S-AM (on a more recent Drake, for example) sounds
like.

When I used my R75 for program listening I used the SSB mode. The SAM
is useless without the Kiwa mods, which I don't have.
