If so, please email me. What is **TECHNICAL** (proven) merit of hybrid/tube amplifiers over modern all-transistor amplifiers? If you think transistors are better, give me the reason also. Please refrain from telling me that "it simply sounds better". Please give me technical information with references (if possible) I need to update my amplifier sooner or later. (My target is QUAD ESL 63) I usually do not believe myths. But, this time, one audio fanatic, who is an EE as I, led me to dig more information about this. Thanks in advance. and followups to "rec.audio.high-end", please. -hsong- nvuxl!hsong@bellcore.bellcore.com
