Dennis, thanks for speaking the truth. IMO per my ears, few tube amps in the 1960s in factory stock form sounded as crystal clear as the better SS offerings in the 1970s including those minimalist 1980s SS power amps with a superior preamp. Tube type amps required use of triode power tubes & better components plus superior design to outperform the SS amps sonically. Of course, low efficient speakers are not for SET, but a 2A3 PP or more powerful 845 PP solves that issue for the most part.
