Does hybrid amp really has the best of both world?


I have solid state, tube and hybrid. I still prefer the tube sound.

Hybrid amps always uses the phrase "best of both world" in their advertisement. Seems like they are missing the worse of both world in it too. Otherwise, hybrid will sound superior. Right?

If you value the unique aspects of each technology, then the answer might well be yes.

Otherwise, probably not.

No doubt there is some overhead associated with use of tubes, especially in a higher power amp, so a hybrid can be a nice solution.

Overall system synergy is still the most important thing. If that is off, all bets are off as well.
