Since a Direct Coupled amplifier has response to DC potentials, it is also a Direct Current Amplifier. It really doesn't make any difference which you use in the audio context. Incidently, in my opinion it's all hype. Given equal quality of design, an "AC" amp will be superior to a "DC" amp for audio purposes. More stable and less worry about blown woofers from dropped cartridges and the like. The search for advertising hype must go on, however. Dick Grantges hound!rtfg
