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

RE: You've stumbled on the dirty little secret of High Efficiency speakers...hum!.

Yeah, I know the problem.

Unfortunately, many of the better SETs are expensive and specs don't really help. And there are plenty of variables, a noisy tube or as Chip mentioned, a poor match with the preamp.

I was fighting some hum for months and finally replaced all my preamp tubes and then had to swap 6922s a few times to get the right mix. Beware that any recommendation might not work for you.

How does the system sound with your old amp or a SS amp? Is it quiet?
