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

RE: BB Proof 2A3 DC

"Not much gain, but all DHT would be sweet! Worth the trade off?"

To me it would be worth the tradoff. I think people should get their gain on the front end of their system. Even if it means adding a 12ax7 gain/buffer stage to their CD player. Or using a preamp with gain instead of a TVC or passive pre.

Having said that the 4P1L is microphonic, and these great builders you see on line go to great lengths to mitigate that. Like using rubber suspension to isolate the tube from the chasis. I think the theme of this build is American BB proof, not European Finesse. I like European Finesse, don't get me wrong.

Big speakers and little amps blew my mind!
