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

RE: Transcendent or Bottlehead

The Transcendent looks very tempting, but if I had to choose only one or the other, it would be the Paramounts.

Smaller tube count, more versatile with different speakers, direct coupled, excellent reputation.

A good 2A3 is a little pricey, but you only need a pair so re-tubing is probably cheaper.

I appreciate the merits of an OTL, I just don't feel they are quite as practical as conventional designs. It's an awful lot of heater wattage for a 4Wpc amplifier.
