As a matter of fact, I go both ways.
I still use hybrid Counterpoint, Preamp, Amp, and Amps.
Like the sound of tubes over transistors and yet appreciate the distinct shrill sound of transistors.

Even my phono stage goes through a Counterpoint Pre-preamp.

As for Electrostatistics, you don't have one of them with a continued blue arc across the midrange and the tweeters do you?

Sota with a vacuum platter is still my choice. Still listen to Vinyl.

Duane I finally stopped short of monoblocks etc. about the time cost of the inteconnects became more than the cost of a 427 SO stroked.

These Cobra guys don't have a clue when it comes to being "out there" not until they have encountered the audiophiles. We could certainly give them a run for their money.
