Burgers Veyron M or T?

[Chienmortbb]

I have the MOSFET version but am wondering what the difference is between them. Has anyone’s tried or owned both?

I had the mosfet one. When I bought it, I could hear negligible difference between it and the valve one, so I thought I might as well save 50 quid. The M may have been a touch brighter, but that was it. Many of these class D amps that boast valve drive just use a single ECC83 in the input stage. I have a Carvin that does just that. It doesn't add much in my experience. Rounds off the sound a little when you push the gain, but that's about it. You aren't going to get a full-on valve overdrive out of them.

That was my thought and some reviews say you cannot get a real clean tone. Thanks.

Well the Veyron is now for sale, nothing wrong with it but I now have a NAD pending.

I have a Carvin BX700 and have the same opinion, but more so. I can't detect any difference between the Valve and solid state settings. Perhaps my ears are shot.
