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

RE: How can you know which is more 'accurate' or 'truthful'?

There are a whole bunch ov assumptions in there.

Odd HD is not the only reason SS sounds objectionable to some. I am not quite ready to buy into the idea that the usual SS is cranking out enough to drive folks nutty. It is a nice label to attach, no doubt about it. Also, it assumes that even HD is not objectionable or noticeable...IME, tube stuff with the usual SE spectrum of HD turns my ears right off. Totally unacceptable.

So what contributes to SE working as well as it does? Gapped iron for one, as well as short signal path and a minimum of amplification stages come to mind.

Take for example, SS has variable input capacitance. Try listening to something built around a circuit that eliminates that effect.
cheers,
