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

RE: Agree

Whether you are in the "silver is better" camp is personal preference. I too question the statement that silver-plating sounds the same as solid silver - I have extensive experience with amplifiers that are all copper with M6 EI cores, copper primary/silver secondary with 36% Ni double-C cores, and all silver with 50% Ni double-C cores and they all sound very different. When someone claims that a EI-cored transformer with copper primaries and silver-plated secondaries sounds the same as all-silver, it says to me that clearly they've never heard a proper all-silver transformer because the two are sonically far apart.
