....subsequently made the hybrid designs and then, when he started Aria Audio, went back to pure tube designs. So the hybrid designs are not a reflection of some overall philosophy, but his thoughts at a given point in time. And that time was long ago.There are many fine solid-state designs, hybrid designs and pure tube designs. So more than one way to skin a cat. IMHO the way that the power supplies are implemented probably has a greater contribution to the resulting sound than the audio circuit topology, just my two cents.
