Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

RE: My 3 years to the goal of the non-compromise SET and still learning..

I am happy to report that my amplifier scored a pretty high score on our local DIY audio exposition. Although I was very pessimistic and worried, I was very happy when I heard my amplifier sounding. I am pretty happy with the result and I'll move on to better sound for the next year's expo.

I will share some "know-how" I learned while upgrading my SET for the exposition.

1. HEATER WIRE - very important and influences the whole sound of the amplifier, even on indirectly heated tubes. This is one of the best upgrades I've ever done. The change is like swapping a mediocre to better speaker/power cord.

2. POWER DISTRIBUTOR - it goes together with my whole system. A power distributor made of nice wooden chassis, and good wire with the proper direction was my trump card at the expo and a great upgrade. It should be vibration treated as every other hi-fi equipment. I put soundcare feet on it and the quality of soundstage width, depth and bass increased.
