When I play a CD each channel's audio goes through two triodes. (autoformer volume control to single triode driver stage to direct heated SET output stage)4 when I play an LP. And if I built it balanced you can double the numbers.
That is just for the mids and highs. The bass signal path is SS.
I can't dream what your system is doing with all of those tubes?

No solid state components directly in the signal path unless I am using a CD player or a DAC. The main point here being that people should not be afraid of tubes - when I play a tape the noise I hear is the tape itself, nothing else, and that's with horns.I don't recommend it to an average user, however... as a tube issue CAN be hard to pinpoint. Fortunately, with good tubes that is pretty rare.
Overall people get impressed with the system's musicality and transparency.
