RE: When did you know SE sound was it?

I went from big ss amps to PP tube amps. Never went back. At one time I had a CJ Premier 4 - eight EL34s and well reviewed of course. Well, my modified Leak Stereo 20 sounded better. So I downsized the speakers and the electrostatics and Apogee ribbons went. Hard choice, but I saw the solution in better amplifiers. Next step forward was taking all the globale NFB off the Leak - big improvement. Then triode output stages. Built a 300B SET and that was it. Sound was pretty good now.

But the breakthrough for me wasn't SET, it was using inly DHTs right through. Right now I have 26 into 46 into 300b. Best I ever built.

You're unlikely to be able to buy an all-DHT SET, but that's a pity. The DC filament supplies require a bit more work but it's not rocket science.
