"EML...are the only ones built right" is simply your opinion...

You used to chuck 300Bs at trash cans ? Sure you did, when they were bad tubes; maybe...

RCA touching plate 2A3s, specified by significantly important companies like Brook and Northern Electric, are great tubes, used correctly. The fact that you do not like NOS USA triode opt tubes is simply your wish; nobody else's fact. Well, maybe Jeff believes that as well. I am not wishing to diss you or Jeff; you know that. Why do you say, repeatedly, that SE inherently has more clarity than PP ? Can you cite scientific facts that prove such ridiculous claims ? You might prefer, as do many on this forum, the sound of SET amps. But, to blanketly say or always imply SET is better than PP; that is nonsense. Do you really believe that you, or Jeff, are enjoying your systems any more than the rest of us commoners that do not have your amps ?

On the contrary, all of us are enjoying our systems; equally. That is why we hover as inmates, here and at other forums, some of the time. The rest of our free time we are hopefully listening to and ENJOYing our systems. I love some SE amps; to be sure. I sure do love my PP amps even more. In my systems, this is my preference, most of the time. Which flowery lingo sonic description term do you care to discuss that means SE is always better ? If SE is always better sounding to you, great. Enjoy your stuff. Please stop trying to make anyone else believe their systems, or even tube brand choices, are inadequate; compared to your choices. Can't we all just get along and enjoy listening; without any denouncing ?
