Does hybrid amp really has the best of both world?

+1 Jetrexpro, yes transparency and natural sound.
Charles,

Well said Kurt_tank. They just failed to mention hybrid has weakness too. Nothings perfect in this world.

Often combines the worst of both worlds, highly variable, I think PdspecL is right.

If you value the unique aspects of each technology, then the answer might well be yes.

Otherwise, probably not.

No doubt there is some overhead associated with use of tubes, especially in a higher power amp, so a hybrid can be a nice solution.

Overall system synergy is still the most important thing. If that is off, all bets are off as well.

Pdspect got it right. Nothing to add.
