The hybrid bridge will be second best in sonics on high efficiency speakers where you can easily HEAR such things.

It will not be as clear sounding as if you used four tube rectifiers or four solid state devices. It will be a SONIC degrade.

Why?? I'm no engineer, I'll leave that for others to theorize over, but there are different conduction angles, rise times, and so, on EFFICIENT speakers, the hybrid bridge DESTROYS some of the music, and what we are trying to achieve as honest, neutral reproduction.

The diodes in a full wave bridge need to be EXACTLY the same, all four, not two solid state and two tubes. The diodes in a full wave bridge need to be EXACTLY the same, all four, not two solid state and two tubes. The diodes in a full wave bridge need to be EXACTLY the same, all four, not two solid state and two tubes. The diodes in a full wave bridge need to be EXACTLY the same, all four, not two solid state and two tubes.

Maybe we need to use eight devices in a bridge, four tube AND four solid state, just as Uncle Stu suggests....( I need to TRY that !!) at least they would all be the configured the SAME !!
