We're discussing your response to:
There is precious litle 'modern' about any valve circuit. I learnt on
them btw.

There's more than a valve in a "valve circuit". Now there may be
solid-state components too.

Which makes them hybrid, not exclusively valve.

So who said "exclusively"? We're discussing modern applications of
valves. They're GOING to be hybrid. (They're probably also going to
be snake-oil, but that's another matter.)

That seems to be a curious definition. By the same token you could call a
hybrid, a semiconductor circuit in that case !
