Since this amp uses a Jfet front end, is it then not completely a "tube amp" ? A Jfet is a solid state device unless I amp mistaken. This amp is not completely then a TUBE amp but a hybrid tube/solid state amp. It does have a tube output stage and a 6H30 tube for the phase splitter/inverter stage but the voltage amplifier part of the driver circuit is a Jfet solid state device as mentioned in the specs.
