Let's try and be polite Fran. Nothing to get past IMO although there is an overlap between tube and solid state. There are of course those
solid state amps that are designed to be warmer or a have a little color in their sound.

Steve's recent thread was a good example of a tube amp effect IMO.

Of course this stuff can be argued over until the cows come home - and often is by audio engineers with their own studios, which I often come across on various recording forums.
