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

EZ LOW COST audio tweak to try at home, for SETs and H.E. speakers











These six bricks are 60 cents each at my local Lowes store, red " Holland" bricks. They need to be wrapped in felt.

As I added them end-down onto my SET amp, I distinctly got a quieter and smoother sound, top end got quiet, and distortion seemed to decrease.

Some of it is taming power transformer vibrations, and some of it is the beneficial effect of MASS LOADING. Two bricks, placed on my 29 pound Pioneer Elite Blu Ray player, over the platter area, seemed to help that some also.

I would encourage SET owners with High Efficiency speakers to experiment and have some fun. Felt goes on the bricks this weekend. Felt, black, at Wal Mart is reasonable in cost.

Best wishes,

Jeff Medwin
