almost all modern electronics uses MOSFETS

Uh ! Pardon ? The amplifiers I've been associated with in recent
times have actually stopped using Mosfets as output devices and
we're using bipolars again ( cost reasons - and limited sources of
nice lateral mosfets ).

Not a single mosfet in the signal path.

Care to elaborate ?


Two words: digital audio.


Stewart was talking in the present tense. All modern electronics ( at
least audio since this is an audio group ) use mosfets very
sparingly.


Why isn't it appropriate to speak of digital audio in the present tense?
