SET Asylum

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

The paint must be slightly conductive in order for it to work. The effect apparently is similar to using Bill Perkin's copper tube coolers. It forms a shield but also picks up a slight charge from the EMF field and thus creates a bit ( though small) capacitance with the plate structure. The result is a high frequency roll off. With the tube coolers I solder a small wire and ground it and the top end is significantly restored.

Of course YMMV
