What is everyone's take on hybrid integrated amps? I traded in an older McIntosh solid state integrated amp for a McIntosh hybrid. The dealer explained that tubes were better for the preamp stage and solid state as for the power output, like getting the benefits of both. My system sound great. Even tube-heavy Prima Luna now offers a hybrid integrated amp. |
@aseaman007 For many the objective is to reproduce accurately the original performance. The original performance many have been 'romantic'. If you are listening to single-ended, there will be distortion. Some people like it but they may not be interested in reproducing the original sound. Buy what moves you. |
