For 25 years of my experience, the SET aficionados doted first on the 300B, then on the 2A3 and type 45. For more power there were other choices, but only recently have I ever heard of the type 50 used as an output in an SET. I've heard a pair of such amplifiers, and they really are excellent sounding. But why was that tube seemingly overlooked for so long? Rarity?
Thanks.

- The 50 was a single plate tube that preceded the 300B in the quest for more power... A slightly warm 45 say I- - Cleantimestream 05:52:50 01/22/16 (0)
