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

RE: State of the art, or jewelry? New tubes.

...or

C. $450 OPT with $250 tubes.

D. $600 OPT with $600 tubes.

I say C... or D if the funds were available ;^)

A and B are extreme examples and perhaps not relevant.

For $700, I'd opt for JJ2A3-40s and some solidly-performing transformers (which can be very good). This is what I did, but have moved on to EML tubes (though in a different amp, I might choose differently).

Cheers.
