OK, good. So this is nothing to do with MOSFETS in general, merely one
particular rather ancient amplifier. Glad we got that clarified.


Yes. If that is the case then it makes more sense to me since I have also
encountered some amps that 'sounded different' because they had some flaw
or limitation in the design. Given some of the weirder designs that are
sold to 'audiophiles' I find it quite plausible. But it may tell us nothing
about MOSFET vs Bipolar as classes when used appropriately within their
limits.

Slainte,
