They are just another design. There is no direct correlation between being a hybrid and their sound and quality. There are many hybrid designs too.Its just different from all tube or all transistor, not better or worse. Better or worse comes from actual circuit design and parts quality the same way all four cylinder engines are not the same as or better than a six cylinder or vice versa. Think of a several $100K plus F1 four cylinder vs a hum drum 80's Chevy V-6.

I have heard no ss preamp sound as round, 3-d, "natural" as a good tube preamp. I have heard too few hybrids to know if those differences can be reduced to zero, but I suppose that that would depend on where in a circuit the transistors are deployed. Mind, the few hybrids I've heard (back when) did not persuade me. Note, though, that the foregoing is merely my personal sense of my personal experience -- I make no scientific claims.
