In Reply to: RE: Who makes a headphone SET amp? posted by Palustris on September 01, 2016 at 08:46:18
It seems like a lot of amp descriptions will mention "single-ended" or "triode" but not necessarily "SET" or "single-ended triode". Is there a way to tell when researching them?
Is the Cyber-30 an SET?

Yes, marketing documents are intended to confuse the consumer by using audio buzz words.

Yes, look at the tubes in the device. Is the output tube a triode? If YES then it is a SET. If NO then NOT a SET.
Don't know if the tube is a triode or pentode? Look it up at the link below.

The Consonance CYBER-20, for instance, is not a SET. It is a SEP since it is a Single Ended Pentode. Check the EL84 data sheet at the link below.
Got it. So if the output tubes are triodes then it's an SET.
The Cyber 30 is said to use 2a3 output tubes which I believe are a triode tube so that's all we need to know to determine that it's an SET?
