Forgive my ignorance.
It seems NVA amps can sound "better" than other SS amps because they don't have something that other amp manufacturers do.
What is it that NVA amps don't use ?
Better sounding ss amps ?

If you mean the output inductor, then several amps don;t use them, and some make their use optional. Without a doubt they are a compromise.

I don't know what I mean, that's why I asked the question.
I've not seen any output inductors on DIY SS circuits that I've looked at.
I seem to remember Richard mentioning zobel networks, but they are a resistor and capacitor ?

Yeah, a Zobel would be a series RC network across the terminals. Just stops a very inductive load causing problems at the top end IIRC. Since it's not directly in the high-current signal path, I wouldn't see that as a problem.

You seem to be mixing up your capacitance and inductance
