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

RE: Ignore the doubters!

From the vantage point of magnetic parameters M6 is a vast improvement over M19.

As I said earlier the core losses in M6 are less than one third of the losses in M19.

M19 is only available in 26 and 24 guages. M6 is available in the thinner 29 guage standardly. This would decrease eddy currents.

Perm is much greater with m6 if used in a non airgapped application.

Max permissible Flux is greater (giving the designer more options on sizing the transformer to achieve their mix of design goodness.

Harmonic distortion generated by the core will be reduced with M6 vs M19.

No load exciting current will be reduced with M6 vs M19

Thicker guages of lams (M19) tend to be mechanically noisier than the thinner M6.

Except for lower costs I do not see any advantages to M19 over M6 (and even more so with M4, M3 or M2).
