Does anyone have any experience of hybrid valve and solid state power amps?


Hi guys

I ask this question because I recently had a listen to a JE Audio Dyad S400 power amp. I was very impressed by its performance, but, correct me if I'm wrong there don't seem to be many hybrids around, or are there?


What are your thoughts on how they compare to other designs?

@bazb , 
hi, i'm also interested in Dyad amp. would you describe how the sound image portrayed in that setup ? what kind of music you tested in the audition? 
does it sound forward but seemingly relax and lean, airy and have more SILKY sparkle in the high ?
is it more spacious, orchestra instrument separation, airy presentation ?
is it capable to resolve complex passages & pop electronic music better ?
lastly, does it sound slightly veil or clarity with hear through effect ? 
any info would be appreciated. Thank you.

I had the Rogue Medusa in my system on demo and it was a really good piece.  Outstanding dynamics, imaging, and soundstaging.  The fact that you can tune it with the input tube to cater to your system and tastes is such a nice bonus.
