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

RE: Slightly OT: Lamm, "accuracy" and enjoyment...



Speakers are the same way as amps.

One can design a speaker cabinet according to all the correct mathematics, and then use the wrong thickness wood. Or use internal braces-- obviously something you can't use unless you like your music interrupted and modified by wave collisions against the braces.

So, one learns how to use the right materialls and construction-- and then you don't need braces. You also don't need much stuffing because you designed the box solid-- you eliminated resonant peaks by design-- not by correction.

The thing then breathes music, and it's good.

Amps should be very accurate signal-wise just like speakers should, so when somebody says they're designing for accuracy-- which one do they mean? FORCED accuracy or NATURALLY DESIGNED-IN accuracy? The two are opposites, and only one plays actual music because music flows naturally-- it's not a static thing..

The same questions apply: shall we get this correct by add-ons to make corrections and FORCE "accuracy", or should we simply design the thing so that it needs zero corrections and zero adjustments?

It's Designer's Choice. But only one actually plays music long-term.
