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

RE: Great caps already

Hi Frihed89,

K40 Russians are NOT so wonderful in good single ended amps. I just took out a K40 pair as part of a multiple cap bunch, a bypass across an Rk, 0.22 uF, and the same-value film replacement was TONS better.

I DO think K40s are "OK" if you mod vintage gear, and do Push Pull, but don't confuse its use for GOOD SE - it don't cut it for the better SE amps IMHO, and in tonight's A-B experience.

Its very average sounding to me. I do NOT like SSG silver Mica Russians either, even as in bypass duty, dark colored in a well-done SE amp.

Have fun, I am - with the latest mods of my SE DC stereo 45 amp.
