RE: Hybrid Preamps

Posted by Awe-d-o-file on February 20, 2017 at 15:32:16:
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.
