**Depends on implementation. The MOSFETs, of course, will
always sound like MOSFETs - dull, boring, undynamic and
compressed.


Sounds like more of the same "every amplifier sounds different religion
that Trevor has been entertaining many of with for years and years.


**I'll make it easy for you. Locate an old Phase Linear 400(b) and an early
Perreaux amp. Set up a DBT between the two and ask the listeners what
differences they feel they can hear (if any). Let me know what results you
find. Both amps are plentiful and cheap, so the test should be an easy one.
Both amps use ****-loads of global NFB, minimal bias current and primitive
topology so the only major differences are related to the output devices
used.

Take the time to listen for yourself. You might be surprised. I was.
