RE: Is there any real benifit sonically between class A, AB etc...

Hi Airtime,

Vacuum tubes can be operated Class A, AB, or C as well as solid state devices. I would expect that if someone put his mind to it, a vacuum tube Class D amplifier could also be made.

RCA designed a vacuum tube low level modulated Class C AM broadcast transmitter. They called it an Ampi-phase. I think conceptually is is somewhat similar to a class D amp.
