My only question is why would U/L flaws be any different than the flaws of triode or pentode operation? All modes have flaws, so it's a matter of selecting the mode that works best for you.Ray, I think your second sentence is spot-on. I think the basis of most of the arguments here are "my favorite output stage is better than your favorite output stage". There's nothing wrong with that - albeit I think an open mind is a good thing to have.
For the record, my "McShane" amp uses a triode wired output stage. One of my very favorite amps out there is the little Citation V - it's a pentode design. And the killer Citation II is U/L, and I love it too. They all sound great, regardless of the configuration of the outputs.
