Ahh, the Mcintosh....(4) KT88 output tubes per channel in a push-pull parallell configuration; 12AX7 preamps, and 20 pount output transformers....Sweet....
According to the "experts", the crossover point (top/bottom of the sine wave) with tubes is seamless, but with solid states there is a small but definable "break", and that is what, to an audiophile, makes the vacuum tube amplifier superior. I suppose you could say that "newer ain't necessarily better".
