Good to know. Not a real VFET, thank you. It's a legendary line of car amps either way- if you're ever in the market. Great for playing dense music with full range drivers at 2-4 ohms

For sure. And truth be told, what type of transistors they are really doesn’t matter if you like what you hear.
Just to add to the confusion here. Look at post #32.

According to "Mr V-Fet" the MTX uses a V-MOSFET which has a pentode characteristic. (I do love the pentode sound)
He further claims in an unclear sentence that Papa's SIT's are actually JFets. I think he may be referencing this article: Nelson Pass

Mosfetz are typically characterized as having pentode-like gain characteristics, SITs as having triode like gain characteristics. This is a good article from Nelson for further reading: https://www.firstwatt.com/pdf/art_sit_intro.pdf
@Ryan200
he claims that they claimed falsely, or wrong (and there he's correct)
then he claims wrong , about Papa's claims
in fact, for the record, Pa made distinct classification of various Fets and V-Fets and whatever, in his articles; of course that classification in everyday correspondence here is slightly more loose

This site does a nice job of explaining the differences too. AMPLIMOS V-Fet & SIT Amplifiers, One Stage Amplifiers
Great articles cody! ty! Little bits are starting to sink in with every (re)read.
ZM- I had little doubt the poster was overreaching. As I am one who also overreaches and could recognize myself in the statement. Thanks for the confirmation
I'm starting to understand why SIT is a more useful term than VFET
