Hmm, mebbe I should have put that part in my message, eh?  =)

Sure, sounds reasonable, I wouldn't be surprised that a stereo has
some MOSFETS in it, it's kinda hard to have modern electronics
without some transistors. But what's so special about MOSFETs that
they decided to spend the time and stamp "MOSFET" on the front
panel?
