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

RE: PP transformer in SE circuit is not a decent compromise...

Hi, The jist of the article was to get into SE triode sound as cheaply as possible. I built SE Glory first with a Hammond PP OPT's, as per the article. It sounded great. The circuit draws about 25 ma. per channel, so a 30 Watt pp ,wired for single ended use, never saturates, and sounds fine. Naturally, I couldn't leave well enough alone, and had to hear what a version of the circuit would sound like using top quality parts. Within a couple of months, I swapped the pp opt's out for a pair of One Electron ,(UBT-2? I believe), single ended opt's. Even better. My current version, built about 6 years ago, uses James OPT's. This is my final build, and the one I will keep, but I can't help thinking; "What about Magnequest"?
