RE: SET vs OTL in a shootout ?

"any of you guys do a A/B - same system both amp types ?"

Not only same system but same driver.


Circlotron output stage using 4 6as7g's (8 triodes) into a transformer loading the stage at 325 ohms sounds much better than 8 6as7g's (16 triodes) driving 8 ohms (OTL).

It's much more linear, less HD.

Neither sound as good as the SET. The 6as7g is just not all that linear no matter how you load it.

I don't think any of the super low plate resistance tubes (made for pass tubes in series voltage regulator circuits) are.
