What is the cause of Mosfet Mist or Veiling?

I use to know the answer to this question ,but had forgotten!Some amps sound Dark while some seem to have a veiling over the voice info.I have heard this from various amps and was wondering what the cause is?
Other Amps display a very forward signature while other's are more layed back and give a wide and deep soundstage which I favor.
Other's can be Tizzy in the Treble while other's lack Bass!

What are people in the know opinion on these signature's?

You could be right, I'm no expert.

Kudo's to Ralph. How often do you see a manufacturer pat a competing manufacturer / technology on the back with the highest of praise and do it by name in public ? While i know that the Atma's are tube based and the Gamut is SS / Mosfet, I think that this says a lot about Ralph's honesty and "inner peace" : ) Sean

Thx for the responses!Yes,I do agree about Ralph's comment.It also shows that coming to this BB for the answer's to questions that we audiophiles need answers to are fielded by those who are really in the know!Where else are you going to get that kind of service!

I had an Harmon Kardon Amp at one time that was made of a Bi-Polar design.I switched to a B&K amp because the HK kept blowing the fuses in my Maggies!I wounder if this had to do with the linear factor which is associated with MOSFETs?
I never blew another fuse again!

Thx for the info!I will save this link for reference!

No. Linearity of the output devices has NOTHING to do with an amp blowing fuses.
