[QUOTE="Visor57, post: 64441, member: 759"] Aren't the output transformers half the problem of building valve amplifiers? Other other half being the relative scarcity of valves compared to semiconductors (although, I think in the case of certain output devices they may just be even on that count). I like the idea of hybrid systems because I assume the solid state outputs are far less costly than high-quality output transformers, and you still get the valve flavour albeit minus the elegant simplicity. I'd love to build a proper valve amp though, for headphones or otherwise...it's just one of those things ;) [/QUOTE]
