Muralman1, are you certain that the Pass amps contain no resistors in the signal path? Also, I thought the 'Super-Symmetry' topology was implemented prior to the output stage. (I too have not heard of interstage coupling capacitors being referred to as "step-up" capacitors - though I believe they are sometimes called DC-blocking capacitors.)
Mosfet amps A true compromise betw. tubes and SS?
I heard from several people that Mosfet SS amps are a nice compromise between tubes and SS amps.
There is one manufacturer in particular I am interested
http://www.wbe-audio.de,s croll down to Fusion 700 (its a German made amp, but he has an English web page) who calls his hybrid amp a Mono tube mosfet amp.
I would really appreciate if someone who has more insight would tell me a bit more of advantages and shortcomings of this design and if the claim: "sound of tubes with power of SS" is true or not. Also I would like to know if these are fast amps, as I plan to maybe use them with my ML Prodigy, should the Wolcott amps, I bought recently, not work satisfactorily.
